West Bromwich Albion’s search for Carlos Corberan’s successor is being led by sporting director Andrew Nestor.
They’ve been working over Christmas but aren’t going to rush the search for a new head coach because they want to get the right person for the job.
Unsurprisingly, the club has received a lot of interest in the role.
Even before Corberan left the club, Albion were planning for this eventuality, which is common; just like planning ahead for transfer windows and potential players, they keep an eye on coaches.
The Baggies’ recruitment process is big on analytics. This includes a head coach.
They want a tactically-astute leader, who can motivate players but who also bring an expressive style.
The club’s ownership wants to instil an ethos that can continue beyond even the next head coach.
