Sheffield Wednesday have announced the appointment of Tony Pulis as their new manager. The 62-year-old succeeds Garry Monk, who was sacked by the club earlier this week.
Pulis returns to management after leaving Middlesbrough in May 2019 and having previously managed the likes of Stoke City, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.
The job at Hillsborough is Pulis’s 11th in management and he takes charge of a club that sit second-from-bottom in the Championship having been hit with a 12-point deduction in July, with the sanction reduced to six points last week following an appeal.
A run of four straight league defeats was ended with a 1-0 win against Bournemouth before Saturday’s goalless draw with Millwall, which proved Monk’s last game in charge.

Did Flint play under him at Boro and play well? Could that make a permanent deal slightly more likely?
Good for Pulis; he's 62 now so is quite possibly his last job in management and has found a big club willing to be his last ride if that is the case. Can't imagine how their fans feeling going from Monk to Pulis though.
The reduction of the 12 point deduction must have been a hell of a boost, like being given two wins without playing a game.
Middlesbrough paid £7m to sign Flint when Pulis was managing the club. A year later, Pulis was gone and they sold Flint to us for £4m.Originally Posted by surge
Warnock is over 70 and still going, may be Pulis could go on for as long.
Pulis might not be a great manager, but unlike Warnock, he has never managed a team to relegation.
I like pulis , he's like warnock
Percentage football , tight defence , get the ball in the opposition box as often as possible ......because that's how you win games
Yes. Perfect tactic in the Premier League.
How many games has Warnock won in the EPL?
469
I saw a recent news item where Pulis was really talking up Aden Flint - before Monk was sacked.
There have also been a lot of news items this week quoting Barry Bannon saying Pulis was the worst manager he ever played for - again I think the interview that was taken from predated the Monk sacking! It wasn't that he disliked Pulis, just that there was no place for Bannon's type of player in a Pulis team.
Interesting times!
He's managed 112 games and won 27 according to the Premier League website.
That's closer to his blamed someone else total for a season?
Pulis has been sacked from most of the clubs he has managed, invariably with the fans shouting for his head at the time due to the negative brand of football his teams play. He is also one of the few managers to be sued (and lose to the tune if £3.7m) in the high court, for fraudulent misrepresentation, by a former club (Palace) for return of a £2m bonus he requested be paid early, only to give his notice in and leave the club one day later. Perhaps not such a legend after all ?
He would have been judged as a good premier league manager until as recently as the 2017-18 season (which started with his captain being sold). Took Boro to play-offs in Championship too, a 6 game horror show stopping him from doing it back to back seasons. We'll have to see if he's still up to it but expect Wednesday are hoping to do as Boro have done under Warnock.
The details of Pulis' contract haven't been disclosed, but there was a lot of (quite well informed) speculation in recent days that he was likely to be appointed only to the end of the season - to get Wednesday out of trouble - and that a different manager for the longer term would then get the job.
. Very true!
Yet your adulation of a certain Mr N Warnock is well known.....
I'm sure that most managers have been sacked from most of the clubs that they have managed
Flint's season at Middlesbrough is a bit odd. They had the joint-best defensive record in the Championship, matched only by Sheffield United, and Flint started 39 of their 46 matches. Boro and Sheffield United conceded far fewer goals than any other team that year - they both conceded 41, while the next best was was Leeds with 50. Nevertheless, Flint was sold to City at a significant loss at the end of the season.
Hasn’t been sacked from as many clubs as your hero Warnock and has never been relegated from Premier League! Certainly an upgrade on Warnock even though they use similar tactics! Look what has happened to Stoke since he left, got them promoted and kept them in Premier League for 7 years!
Pulis‘S CV shows he’s easily a level above Warnock, and has achieved much more at the top level.
Premier League manager of the season for a start.
Few managers outside the top 4, ever win that.
Plus, a number of decent finishes with Stoke.
Warnock’s never even been good enough to keep a team in the Premier league, for one season.
He’s a serial failure.
Championship is his level.
Utter bollocks
Is that the Pulis who led Stoke to a number of good Premier league finishes, and worked a miracle against the odds in keeping Palace up.
The same Pulis who won Premier League manager of the season, something few outside the top 4 every season ever win.
He’s a league above Wsrnock, who’s never kept a team up even.
How many promotions has Pulis had?
