West Bromwich Albion have appointed Barnsley boss Valerien Ismael as their new head coach on a four-year contract.
Former Crystal Palace defender Ismael took over at Barnsley last October with the club 21st in the Championship.
They won 25 of his 44 games in charge to finish fifth before losing to Swansea City in the play-offs.
“I feel really proud to have accepted this challenge. I feel a big responsibility but I’m ready for this job and I am delighted to be here,” Ismael told the club website.
