Former Croatia and West Ham boss Slaven Bilic have been handed the task of leading West Brom back to the Premier League, the Championship side announced on Thursday. The Baggies have appointed Bilic on a two-year deal as the permanent successor to replace Darren Moore, who was controversially sacked in March with West Brom sitting fourth. “Albion have convinced me they want to return to the Premier League. A five-month tenure at Saudi club Al-Ittihad followed, but Bilic was again sacked after a return of just three wins in 15 matches. “He is determined to get back to the Premier League and believes passionately that he can do that with Albion.”
