West Bromwich Albion have appointed former Basel and Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky as their new manager.
Carlos Corberan quit the Baggies on Christmas Eve to take charge of his home town club Valencia in Spain.
The 75-times-capped former Swiss international midfielder, Wicky, began his coaching career in his home country with Thun in 2009, also working at Servette and Basel.
He took on his first managerial role with Basel in 2017, losing his job the following year before taking charge of the United States Under-17s team in 2019.
Wicky returned to Switzerland with Young Boys in 2022, clinching a league and cup double in Switzerland in 2023, but he was sacked in March last year.
