Slaven Bilic turns down chance for immediate Premier League return

Slaven Bilic has turned down the chance to replace Tony Pulis as West Brom manager, reports The Daily Telegraph.

Sam Allardyce and Alan Pardew have been heavily linked with the vacant West Brom post since the Baggies sacked Tony Pulis at the start of the month.

However, it has now emerged that West Brom offered Bilic the chance to make an immediate return to Premier League management after he was sacked by West Ham at the start of the month.

The 49-year-old was relinquished from his position at the London Stadium after a dreadful start to the season but has opted against jumping back on the saddle so quickly.

West Brom are only one point above the bottom three and have only managed two wins in their last 21 Premier League matches, including none in their last 10.
