Profile
Rock lover Slaven Bilic is one of the most passionate and popular managers around, who is now back in management with West Brom. At the first time of asking he propelled the club back into the Premier League after they finished 2nd behind Leeds.
The former Hammers defender previously managed the likes of Croatia - famously preventing England from qualifying to Euro 2008 - Besiktas, Lokomotiv Moscow, Croatia U21, and hometown club Hajduk Split, and then decided the lure of English football was too hard to resist, returning to the Iron in 2015.
Bilic, who led Croatia through to the quarter finals of Euro 2008, is a huge music fan, and even plays the guitar in a band (see video below), while he's also a multilinguist, and holds a law degree.
