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.

The 59-year-old will watch Boro's Boxing Day home Championship game against Bolton from the stands, with Craig Liddle taking caretaker charge.

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