Tony Pulis announces retirement

Former Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Brom boss Tony Pulis is stepping down as a manager.

The 65-year-old has not worked since a job at Sheffield Wednesday in 2020, when he only lasted ten games.

Pulis was highly rated at one stage, but his stock never recovered after a string of poor jobs.

I'm 65 now. I had a really good run at it, management has passed me by now," Pulis said on Sky Sports News.

I'm quite happy to help people, quite happy to give a little bit of advice here and there.

I've always based my home down in Bournemouth. I had three wonderful children and never spent enough time with them but I've got seven grandchildren now.

It's lovely to see them and be able to go out and watch the boys play football, and we have two in America and we visit them as much as possible.

I play a bit of golf here and there, nice and relaxed."
