Graeme Jones was only appointed as Darren Moore’s assistent coach at West Bromwich Albion in the summer but he could leave the Championship side.
Luton Town could replace one Jones with another.
The Hatters saw their highly-rated manager Nathan Jones leave to take charge of Stoke City on Wednesday, The Potters moving to snap up the 45-year-old after sacking Gary Rowett 24 hours earlier.
And Stoke’s decision to hire the former Brighton coach could have major ramifications at West Bromwich Albion.
Because, according to The Mail, The Baggies are facing up to the prospect of losing their influential assistant manager with Luton identifying Graeme Jones as a top target to replace his namesake at Kenilworth Road.
48-year-old Jones moved to the Hawthorns in the summer after aiding Roberto Martinez at the World Cup, helping Belgium finish in third place after a semi-final defeat to eventual champions France.
The former Everton and Wigan coach is understood to have played a major role in West Brom’s shift away from the pragmatism of Tony Pulis and towards the thrilling attacking football they have produced under Darren Moore.
So, with promotion on the cards, West Brom won’t be thanking Championship rivals Stoke for potentially paving the way for Jones’ exit.
