Tony Pulis: 'Crystal Palace stint won't be bettered'

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis believes that he won't be able to improve on his short spell at Crystal Palace last season.

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has revealed that keeping Crystal Palace in the Premier League is his best achievement as a manager.

Within the space of six months, Pulis guided Palace from 19th position to 11th spot, a stint that earned him the Premier League Manager of the Season award, and the Welshman has admitted that he is unlikely to ever better his performance at Selhurst Park.

The 57-year-old told reporters: "As a short-term position, I don't think I'd ever better what went on at Palace.

"I don't want to talk about what went on and what didn't go on, what matters was them staying in the Premier League. It's a good club and has unbelievable potential.

"To finish 11th was absolutely fabulous and something everyone at the club could be proud of."

Pulis makes his first return to his former club on Saturday afternoon when West Brom make the trip to London.
