West Bromwich Albion are set to look elsewhere in their managerial search, after talks with former Schalke boss David Wagner collapsed [Sky Sports].

As the Baggies gear up for life back in the Sky Bet Championship, they will now have to continue the search for a new manager since Sam Allardyce left the Hawthorns last month [Telegraph].

In a surprise turn of events, German-American Wagner is now set to take charge of Swiss side BSC Young Boys after successful negotiations with the club.

Previously linked with coaches such as Chris Wilder, Frank Lampard and Michael Appleton [GIVEMESPORT], the West Midlands outfit will now need to go back to the drawing board once again as they attempt to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

As you can imagine, some West Brom supporters have plenty to say over the latest news, as loads of Baggies diehards took to Twitter to share their thoughts on these developments.
