# West Brom: Baggies eyeing Darren Moore reunion

**[West Bromwich Albion](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-brom-news/) are already looking at Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore as a possible replacement for Carlos Corberan, according to [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11719439/Sheffield-Wednesday-boss-Darren-Moore-set-surprise-West-Brom-return.html).**

### The Lowdown: Corberan speculation

The 39-year-old has made a huge impact at The Hawthorns since taking over in October, guiding the Baggies from the [relegation zone](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-brom-new-manager-corberan-25345468) to the [play-offs](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB2/saison_id/2022) in just [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carlos-corberan/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/16410/saison_id/2022/wettbewerb_id/GB2) games in the [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/).

The Spaniard has won [10](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carlos-corberan/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/16410/saison_id/2022/wettbewerb_id/GB2) leagues games and appears to be a [top target](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-corberan-top-target-sources/) for Leeds United after they sacked Jesse Marsch on Monday. Corberan is believed to be [open](https://twitter.com/SportOwenO/status/1622622594422788097) to talking to the Elland Road hierarchy, and West Brom chiefs duly appear to be making contingency plans amid the speculation, with former Albion manager Moore a possible target.

### The Latest: Moore eyed for West Brom return

[The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11719439/Sheffield-Wednesday-boss-Darren-Moore-set-surprise-West-Brom-return.html) shared an update on Monday evening, stating that West Brom – and by extension owner Guochuan Lai – are aware of speculation regarding Leeds and Corberan.

They claimed that Albion are assessing potential replacements, and Moore – who has won [24](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darren-moore/profil/trainer/59847) games in all competitions this season with the Owls – ‘will be one of the names at the forefront of their thinking’.

### The Verdict: Good thinking…

Corberan might end up staying in the Midlands, but it is a good idea for West Brom to look at potential candidates in case he does leave for Yorkshire.

Moore, who was hailed as an ‘[honourable](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/i-love-darren-but-sheffield-wednesday-boss-receives-high-praise-before-owls-trip-to-wycombe-wanderers-3984764)‘ manager by Gareth Ainsworth, left the Baggies after 11 months in permanent charge of the club in 2019 but has been enjoying a positive 2022/23 season at Hillsborough, with the Owls currently top of League One.

He likes to play a [3-5-2 system](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darren-moore/profil/trainer/59847) and appears to be getting the best out of Wednesday’s current squad, and having accrued valuable experience elsewhere, he could enjoy a better second stint at The Hawthorns, making this one to watch for the Albion faithful.
