Sami Hyypia is back in management, eight months after quitting Albion.

The former Liverpool legend is taking charge of Swiss Super League side FC Zurich.

Hyypia has signed a two-year deal with an option for a further year.

He officially takes charge at Zurich, fourth-bottom with five points from five games, on August 31.

Hyypia resigned last December, five months after taking charge, with Albion in the Championship relegation zone after one win in 18 games.
