Sherwood was close to being named Baggies head coach last summer before Alan Irvine was appointed.

The former Tottenham manager insists he has no hard feelings at being overlooked for the job.

Sherwood said: "Is there any extra needle in this match for me? Not at all. Good little club isn't it?

"It just wasn't right for me and wasn't right for them. I am delighted to be at this massive club."
