Chris Kirkland had a loan spell at West Bromwich Albion from Liverpool in 2005-06.

Chris Kirkland suggested on the EFL Matters show on Sky Sports Football on Thursday evening (7pm, March 14, 2019) that Slavisa Jokanovic would be a good managerial appointment for West Bromwich Albion.

West Brom are on the hunt for a new manager following the departure of Darren Moore last weekend.

According to Sky Sports, Jokanovic is a managerial candidate for the Baggies, and former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kirkland – who had a loan spell at West Brom from Liverpool during the 2005-06 season – believes that the 50-year-old will be good for the club.

Kirkland said about Jokanovic to West Brom on the EFL Matters show on Sky Sports Football on Thursday evening (7pm, March 14, 2019): “Yes, he has got promotion experience, so if you need somebody to come in now with not long to go, then he would be right up there, yeah.”

Good managerial appointment for West Bromwich Albion?

Jokanovic has a strong record in the Championship, with the 50-year-old having guided Fulham and Watford to promotion to the Premier League from the second tier of English football.

With West Brom set to finish in the playoffs, Jokanovic could come in and give the team that something extra to get them over the final line.

After all, the former Maccabi Tel Aviv manager knows what it takes to get teams promoted to the Premier League, and West Brom do have a very strong and good side.
