Bilic excited to begin West Brom promotion push

Slaven Bilic can't wait to get West Bromwich Albion's promotion push underway.

The 50-year-old Croatian manager is back in English football, two years after being sacked by West Ham.

"It feels great to be back in English football with West Bromwich Albion," Bilic said at his first press conference. "I would like to thank the club for giving me this opportunity.

"It was my wish to come back and manage in England. Managing in the Championship was one of the challenges I wanted to tick off my list."
