West Bromwich Albion are in ‘advanced talks’ to appoint Carlos Corberan as their new manager, and a deal ‘could be completed’ within the next 24 hours, according to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett.

The Championship side have been on the hunt to find Steve Bruce’s successor following his sacking earlier this month and have been linked to several candidates, one of those being the 39-year-old.

The Spaniard is reported to have held two interviews with the Hawthorns hierarchy, and it now sounds like he is close to taking over the reins in the Midlands.

The Latest: WBA in talks with Corberan

Taking to Twitter, Dorsett revealed that West Brom are in the final stages of negotiations with Corberan, and he could be unveiled as the new boss imminently should he accept to join. He wrote:

“#wba in advanced talks with Carlos Corberan over head coach vacancy. A deal could be completed by the end of the weekend.”

The Verdict: A perfect fit

Corberan is a much younger profile of manager than the Baggies would normally go for, but he would be the perfect candidate given his previous track record in England.

Last season, the 4-3-3 attacking boss led the Terriers all the way to the Championship play-off final and was just one game away from achieving promotion to the Premier League.

The Cheste-born coach is also a free agent meaning that there will be no compensation to pay for his services, making this an ideal move for both parties.
