Sheffield Wednesday appoints Tony Pulis as new manager

Sheffield Wednesday has appointed Tony Pulis as their new manager on Friday.

Former Stoke City and Crystal Palace manager will replace Garry Monk, who was sacked by the club after a poor start to the new Championship season.

Pulis brings a wealth of experience to Hillsborough having overseen a mammoth 1,123 senior games through almost three decades in the dugout.

Prior to that, the Welshman made 326 appearances for a raft of clubs as an uncompromising defender.

Pulis last managed Championship side Middlesbrough, leaving the club at the end of the 2018-19 campaign after failing to secure promotion to the Premier League. He also previously managed West Bromwich Albion from 2015-17.

He will now take up his 11th managerial post, leading the Owls for the first time next Saturday at Preston when the Championship season resumes.
