Pardew left The Hawthorns on Monday following a disastrous fourmonth tenure which has left Albion on the brink of Premier League relegation.

Former Baggies defender Moore, who was part of Pardew’s backroom staff, takes over with the club bottom of the table and 10 points adrift of safety with just six games to play.

“West Bromwich Albion has always been a family for me. And that’s the word I shall focus on - family,” Moore told the club’s website.

“We need to get the unity back among everyone - the players, the staff, the fans, everyone connected with Albion, because that is the only way forward.

“We’ve had tough days before and we’ve always bounced back and that’s what we will do again.”

Pardew, who left alongside assistant head coach John Carver, replaced the sacked Tony Pulis on November 29 but managed just one win from 18 league games.

Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Burnley was the 11th in the league under the 56-year-old former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss and eighth in succession.

Moore’s first game in charge is at home to fellow strugglers Swansea on Saturday.

He admitted to having mixed feelings about stepping into Pardew’s shoes on a temporary basis, but has vowed to do his best.
