West Bromwich Albion have appointed James Morrison as head coach on a two-year contract after steering the club to Championship safety. The former Baggies midfielder, 39, stepped up on an interim basis after Eric Ramsay was sacked in late February and was put in charge until the end of the campaign a week later. Under Morrison, Albion have been revitalised, winning four, drawing six and only losing once - his first game against Oxford United. Morrison has brought a sense of togetherness to the club, with the players, staff, directors, and fans all working towards a collective goal. The club's chairman, Shilen Patel, praised Morrison's leadership, saying he had 'led the club out of a real moment of adversity' and that his appointment was 'thoroughly deserved'. Morrison's first match in charge was a 2-1 loss to Oxford, but he responded by calling out some players for an 'unacceptable' performance, which prompted a miraculous turnaround. The club's final game of the season is against relegated Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Morrison has leaned on experience, picking up the phone to former Albion managers Steve Clarke and Tony Pulis. The decision to give Morrison the job permanently is a no-brainer, according to BBC WM's West Brom commentator Steve Hermon. Morrison has embodied what the club is about and conveys the standards expected by the fans. He has all the qualities required to take the club forward, and his appointment is a positive step for West Bromwich Albion's future.
