Stoke City have appointed Norwich City coach Narcis Pelach as their new head coach on a three-year contract.
The 36-year-old Catalan succeeds Steven Schumacher following his shock sacking on Monday after just nine months in charge.
Pelach, from Girona, has worked in English football for four years, first under fellow Spaniard Carlos Corberan at Huddersfield Town and then for the past 16 months under David Wagner and his replacement Johannes Hoff Thorup at Carrow Road.
Since Mark Hughes was sacked in January 2018 and Paul Lambert took over but failed to prevent the Potters being relegated from the Premier League, the club has now made six new managerial appointments.
Pelach will follow Gary Rowett, Nathan Jones, Michael O’Neill, Alex Neil and Schumacher as Stoke’s sixth manager or head coach in the Championship.
He joins Corberan, now with early Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion, and Unai Emery at Aston Villa as the third Spanish boss in Midlands football.
