West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace is pleased with the appointment of Terry Burton as new technical director.
Burton was coaxed away from Arsenal.
"Terry will provide more footballing knowledge and experience at the highest level of the Club," said Peace.
"The structure we have had in place for the past six or so years has generally worked well and been a key factor in the Club returning to the Premier League and staying there. We are certainly not going to rip it up and start from scratch after one poor season.
"However, there is no doubt that the structure needs strengthening and this process is underway.
"Although we have signed several talented players over the past few years, we have always sought to improve our recruitment methodology and last season has underlined the strides we still need to make."
