Micky Adams is making a sensational return as Albion manager.

He has agreed a three-year contract and will be unveiled by the club at a press conference today, seven years after leaving for Leicester.

Adams, 46, takes over from Dean Wilkins who has been offered his former role as first team coach after steering the Seagulls to seventh place in League One this season.

Chairman Dick Knight said: "The board felt we need a manager with more experience to help the club make the great leap back into the Championship.

"It's vital that we get back there as quickly as possible, before we get to our new stadium at Falmer."

Knight broke the news to Wilkins last night.

"We very much want him to stay," the chairman said. "His strengths lie in coaching and the development of players.

"For obvious reasons Dean is in shock and we don't expect him to come up with an answer yet. He needs to think about it and we will do everything to persuade him to stay."

Are you glad to see Micky Adams back?
