"Ramsay, 33, is currently in his first senior managerial role with Major League Soccer side Minnesota United, leading them to back-to-back Conference play-off semi-finals. He also guided the team to their highest place league finish of fourth in the Western Conference last season. Prior to his move to the United States, the Shrewsbury-born Welshman was a first-team coach at Manchester United under Eric ten Hag and took on an assistant coach role with the Wales men's team."
"Ramsay was linked with Albion in the summer before the head coach role was eventually given to Mason. This is not the first-time the 33-year-old's name has been linked with Albion. The Welsh coach has been on the club's shortlist for a while, including during their most recent search, which led them to Ryan Mason. The former Tottenham assistant was also 33 when he was appointed by Albion in June. Both were also midfielders."
"But while one-time England international Mason was forced to retire at the top level because of injury, Ramsay chose to give up playing in the Welsh Premier League to focus on a career as a coach. As a result, the Loughborough University graduate has a more impressive CV. He's received praise for his work in academies at Swansea, Shrewsbury and Chelsea, and at senior level with Manchester United and the Wales national team."
West Bromwich Albion sacked head coach Ryan Mason after a 10th successive away defeat that left them 18th in the Championship, seven points above the relegation zone. The club aims to appoint a new head coach before the next league game on Friday 16 January against Middlesbrough. Eric Ramsay, 33, manages Minnesota United and led them to back-to-back Conference play-off semi-finals and a fourth-place Western Conference finish. Ramsay previously worked as a first-team coach at Manchester United and as an assistant for the Wales men's team. He has a strong academy coaching record and favors attacking transition play.
