Axed Albion manager Gus Poyet has landed a new role with the BBC.

The Uruguayan will be part of their team of pundits on Match Of The Day, discussing the Premier League action when it starts on August 17.

Poyet will be on a roster with Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and former Chelsea colleague Gianluca Vialli.

Poyet was sacked by Albion for gross misconduct and failed with an appeal against the decision.
