Albion have been looking for a successor to Carlos Corberan since Christmas Eve, after the Spaniard returned home to manage boyhood club Valencia, and the club's headhunting search has led them back to a man who knows the Baggies all too well.

Mowbray, who was last at Birmingham City before stepping down last February after being diagnosed with bowel cancer, has recently received the medical all-clear to resume his managerial career and he has returned to The Hawthorns almost 16 years after he departed for Celtic.

He signs a two and a half year contract.

I'm pleased to see Mowbray back in football after his health problems. Wish him well.

Wanted him to be our manager, he's very effective at this level.

Expect he'll do a good job on his return to West Brom.

Happy to see him back after his health problems. Can’t help but think did we even approach him? all the clubs that have sacked managers in our league this year have replaced them with managers apart from us. We have an inexperienced interim with a cobbled together coaching staff. We really are a shambles to be fair

All the managers we listed for possibles here have gone elsewhere ,
Will be interesting how they do mobray wba Robbins stoke

The main reason being that decent managers (at championship level) will want an 18-24 month contract, Tan is only offering a 6 month contract until the end of the season. We will never bring in a top manager until we remove Tan and his lap dogs.
