Tony Pulis has committed his future to West Brom until 2019
The former Stoke boss was only tied down at The Hawthorns until the end of this season.
But he has reached an agreement with the Baggies to see his deal extended by a further year ahead of the new campaign.
"I'm delighted to extend my contract because it continues the stability within the Club which is essential for its progress," Pulis told the club's official website.
"I've said all along that we are in a building phase which requires a step by step process.
We know this Club has a direction it needs to follow and we are determined to do that

"I think we've seen an improvement all across the Club in recent seasons and we must continue that in what is such a tough, tough league.
"Having spoken to John at great length over the summer, we know this Club has a direction it needs to follow and we are determined to do that."
Pulis led West Brom to their joint-second best finish in the Premier League era last season as they came 10th.

On the extension for Pulis, Baggies chairman John Williams added: "We are continuing a transition from one ownership to another and it is absolutely essential that this process is accompanied by stability within the Club.
"Tony and I have engaged in lengthy and constructive discussions throughout the summer about the Club's future direction and I'm delighted that we have agreed an extension to his contract to maintain that stability."
West Brom kick off their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth tomorrow (3pm).
