Tony Pulis confirmed as new West Brom manager
London: Tony Pulis has been appointed head coach of English Premier League strugglers West Bromwich Albion.
The 56-year-old Pulis has agreed a two-and-half-year deal and will take charge after Thursday’s league game at West Ham United, reports bbc.com.
The ex-Stoke and Crystal Palace manager is the club’s fourth head coach in a year, following Alan Irvine’s sacking.
Pulis said: “I’m absolutely delighted to accept the job. Every successful club is built on unity and that is what I shall strive to help bring to Albion.”
Pulis, who managed Stoke from 2006 to 2013, steered Crystal Palace clear of relegation trouble last term.
A strong second half of the campaign saw them finish 11th, while Pulis won the Premier League manager of the season award, but he quit two days before the start of this season.
He joins West Brom with the club just one point above the relegation zone after former head coach Irvine won only four of his 19 league games in charge.
“We need everyone together from top to bottom – the supporters, all the staff, the players, everyone who has an interest in the club’s welfare,” Pulis said.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
