The 61-year-old's return to Albion after 16 years away was confirmed on Friday evening, as he penned a two and a half year deal to succeed Carlos Corberan.

The former title winning Baggies boss was in the stands at The Hawthorns for Albion's clash against Stoke City.

Prior to the game he posed for pictures with supporters and met with sporting director Andrew Nestor and owner Shilen Patel, before being unveiled to the supporters on the pitch before the game.

Mowbray enjoyed a rapturous welcome from the supporters, with fans chanting 'there's only one Tony Mowbray', before he departed and took his seat in the directors box.
