Di Matteo was thrown out of the bag earlier this week. Now a statement from West Brom confirmed the capture of Kenny Dalglish's predecessor at Anfield. It stated:

"We are delighted to announce that they have appointed Roy Hodgson as the club's new head coach."

According to reports, the 63-year-old man’s contract with West Brom is a short one. It bounds him to his new team for only one-and-a-half year. But Hodgson will not start with his new duties right away. This weekend, West Bromwich will still be guided by caretaker manager Michael Appleton.

It may be a relief for Roy Hodgson to have found a place as a head coach at last following his departure from Liverpool on January 11. He beat ex-Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton in the race for the post. By doing so, Roy Hodgson has added team number 20 on his head-coaching list.

West Bromwich are just avoiding the relegation zone at the moment. They have 26 points like 18th placed Wigan Athletic but their (-17) goal difference compared to Wigan’s (-18) has put them onto the 17th position. This weekend, the Latics will try to go past West Bromwich when they’ll take on Roy Hodgson’s former club Liverpool.
