Alan Pardew, right, has previously managed four clubs in the Premier League
West Brom are set to appoint former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew as their manager on Wednesday.
The Baggies sacked Tony Pulis on 20 November after going 10 Premier League games without a victory and sitting a point above the relegation zone.
Pardew, who has been out of the game since being sacked by Palace in December 2016, is expected to sign a deal until 2020.
The 56-year-old will become Albion's sixth permanent manager since 2011.
West Brom let slip a two-goal lead on Tuesday as they drew 2-2 at home to Newcastle, but moved up to 16th place in the table ahead of Everton.
Pardew, a former team-mate of West Brom technical director Nick Hammond, will take charge of his first game against former club Palace at The Hawthorns on Saturday, 2 December (15:00 GMT).
Albion then face trips to Liverpool and Swansea before a home fixture against Manchester United.
Pardew, who has also had spells at Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton in an 18-year managerial career, has been a losing FA Cup finalist twice as a manager.
He was named LMA Manager of the Year in 2012 after he guided Newcastle to fifth place in the Premier League.
