Middlesbrough have appointed former Stoke and West Brom boss Tony Pulis as their manager, replacing Garry Monk.
Welshman Pulis was sacked by the Baggies in November after a run of 10 Premier League games without a victory.

Monk left the club on Saturday - just hours after a 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday left them in ninth place.
