Darren Moore set to appoint West Brom assistant to work alongside current team

Both Shan and Cutler helped Moore with first team affairs during his successful stint as caretaker boss.

And Moore, speaking at his official unveiling as head coach at The Hawthorns today, confirmed both were in his plans.

Cutler is primarily a goalkeeping coach, but he was given the responsibility of organising set-pieces under Moore.

Shan, who was under-23s coach, is being promoted to a role that will focus on getting the club's talented youngsters ready for first team action.

But Moore plans to appoint an assistant head coach in the next two weeks, and will interview a couple of candidates he already has in mind this week.

"There's still an additional backroom staff member to come in," said Moore. "At the moment I'm staying with James Shan and Neil Cutler and then in due course there will be another member added to the team.

"I can't give you the name yet but the person will be the assistant head coach."

Moore was joined by chief executive Mark Jenkins at this morning's press conference and behind them was a new backdrop featuring his "We not me" mantra from his time in charge so far.

"I'm extremely proud, it's a real great moment for me," he said. "I'm delighted to have been offered the job, and I accepted it instantly.

"It's a proud moment for me to be sitting here as a head coach at a club I hold really dearly and I'm looking forward to the job ahead."

Moore's heroics towards the back end of last season nearly pulled off a miraculous escape, but the Baggies were eventually relegated despite his best efforts.

They will be one of the favourites for promotion next season because of the parachute payments from the Premier League.

Moore stopped short of confirming that promotion had to be achieved next season, but he did point to his previous experience of getting out of the Championship, a division he has been promoted from four times as a player.

"The ultimate ambition is to keep this club moving forward," he said. "Promotion? There's another 23 clubs in there and it's a tough league.

"Everybody is vying for that special prize and we're no different to all the other clubs in the Championship.

"It's a very tough gruelling relentless league that has many different challenges that we're going to have to face.

"The only way we're going to overcome those challenges is being the best we can as a football club.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the league again, I played a lot of games in that league.

"I understand the challenges that lie ahead. It's about getting the club ready for those challenges."

During his time as caretaker, Moore refused to publicly throw his hat into the ring for the job, but when he was asked at which point he realised he wanted it, he responded: "I've always had a desire to be a coach.

"Once I finished playing football I thought the next big thing was to coach in the game, once you get into coaching you're able to assess your abilities to lead.

"You need to go through that process, once I finished playing and started coaching you get a taste of being back on the front line.

"I've been in different roles, I've worked under some extremely experienced managers, all those coincide to give you characteristics you need and the confidence to lead. Hopefully I tick those boxes."
