Next West Brom Manager Odds

West Bromwich Albion are on the search for a new manager following Carlos Corberan’s shock departure to La Liga outfit Valencia.

The 41-year-old oversaw 107 matches in charge of West Brom, winning 47 times and drawing 29 times, equating to a 43.93% win percentage. Following the Spaniards departure, the Baggies have won once, drawn twice and lost twice.

Could Tony Mowbray make a shock return to the Hawthorns? The ex-West Brom manager has recently emerged as the bookmakers favourite for the job.

Mowbray managed the Baggies 140 times between October 2006 and June 2009, memorably winning the Championship in the 2007/08 season.

Most recently, the 61-year-old was manager of Birmingham City for eight matches, winning four and drawing one, but, resigned due to health related issues. Prior to his time at St Andrew’s, Mowbray had a glowing reputation at Sunderland, as he turned the Black Cats into Championship play-off contenders with a young squad.

Meanwhile, at Blackburn Rovers, Mowbray managed a total of 267 matches, finishing as League One runner-up in 2017/18, while managing to frequently overachieve with the Lancashire club despite having a restricted budget and often relying on academy products.

Former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Hake has reportedly been in talks with West Bromwich Albion’s hierarchy.

The Dutchman departed Old Trafford upon the sacking of Erik ten Hag, having joined the club in July 2024 from Go Ahead Eagles. During his time at Go Ahead, Hake oversaw 76 matches across his two seasons at the club, finishing 11th and ninth in the Eredivisie.

Ex-Stoke City manager Steven Schumacher has reportedly been linked with the vacancy at West Brom.

Schumacher managed the Potters just 32 times before leaving his role on 16th September in what was regarded as a surprise decision. At the Bet 365 Stadium, he managed to win 13 and draw 6 of those 32 matches in charge, equating to a 40% win percentage.

Prior to his spell with Stoke, Schumacher had a successful time as manager of Plymouth Argyle as he managed to earn promotion with the Mariners from League One in the 2022/23 season and won 57 of his 108 matches at the helm of the Home Park club.

Sean Dyche has emerged as one of the favourites to become West Brom’s next manager following his dismissal from Everton on 9th January.

The 53-year-old consolidated the Toffees place in the Premier League from his arrival at Goodison Park in January 2023 up until the end of the 2023/24 season, however, due to a lack of progression at the club and a change in ownership, Dyche was relieved of his duties.

Prior to his time with Everton, Dyche had a very successful spell at Burnley between October 2012 and April 2022, having overseen 425 matches at Turf Moor, winning 149 and drawing 118, equating to a win percentage of 35.06%. Notably, Dyche gave the Clarets a stable platform to build on and even managed two promotions to the Premier League in 2013/14 and 2015/16.

Chris Brunt is West Brom’s current Interim Manager and has taken charge of five matches, winning one, drawing two and losing two. The 40-year-old is a Baggies legend from his playing days, having made 382 league appearances for the club between the start of the 2007/08 season and the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

Boaz Myhill is also an ex-West Brom player, having played for the club 63 times between 2010 and 2019. The former Wales international started the 2024/25 season as Professional Development Goalkeeper Coach before becoming joint-caretaker manager alongside former teammate, Brunt.

Damia Abella moved with Carlos Corberan to Valencia to join the Bats as their Match Analyst, however, the ex-Barcelona full-back served as West Brom’s Match Analyst between December 2022 and December 2024.

Former BSC Young Boys manager Raphael Wicky is an outsider for the job at West Brom.

The former Switzerland international actually managed to lead the Swiss Super League outfit to a league and cup double in 2022/23, however, he was sacked in March last year due to a downturn in form, leaving him with 59 wins from 100 matches at the Wankdorf Stadium.

Prior to his time at Young Boys, Wicky had an unsuccessful period as managed of Chicago Fire after spells with USA’s Under 19s team, as well as FC Basel.

Swansea City manager Luke Williams was the early favourite for the job at West Brom.

The 43-year-old memorably won the National League play-offs with Notts County back in the 2022/23 season after finishing second-place in an enthralling title race against Wrexham.

Williams has been manager of Swansea since the start of January 2024, winning 18 and drawing 10 of his 48 games in charge of the Swans. At present, Swansea are ninth in the Championship which is impressive considering the Welsh side’s net spend of around £2m.

Liverpool’s assistant manager John Heitinga has also been linked with the vacancy at the Baggies.

The 41-year-old is a highly regarded coach having also served as assistant manager at West Ham United after stabilising Ajax towards the end of the 2022/23 season, winning 14 and drawing four of his 22 matches in charge of the Amsterdam club.

Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace has seen his name linked to a lot of other Championship vacancies due to the impressive work he has done at Ewood Park.

Last season, Rovers managed to avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth, however, this time around, the Lancashire club sit in the play-off places past the halfway point in the 2024/25 season.

Eustace was previously managed of Birmingham City where he consolidated the Blues Championship status in the 2022/23 season, before being controversially sacked in October 2023 with the Blues sitting sixth in the league after 11 matches. Later on that campaign, Birmingham were relegated to League One.

Russell Martin is on the search for a new job having been sacked by Southampton in December 2024.

The 38-year-old is known for coaching a possession-based style of play, however, the former Scotland international struggled to implement this in the Premier League, having accumulated just five points from 16 matches. Despite the Saints abysmal start to the season, Martin actually had a 45% win percentage at St Mary’s, having won 33 and drawn 14 of his 45 matches in charge.

The pinnacle of Martin’s time in charge of Southampton came in May 2024, when the Saints beat Leeds United 1-0 in the play-off final to seal their place back in the Premier League after just one season away.
