West Bromwich Albion are looking for a new manager, having parted company with Tony Pulis following their latest Premier League defeat.
The Baggies sacked the Welshman just a couple of days after they suffered yet another defeat in the Premier League with Chelsea leaving The Hawthorns with a 4-0 win. The loss has left West Brom just outside the relegation zone in the top flight, just one point above the bottom three.
It proved to be Pulis’ final game in charge of the club as he was dismissed earlier today, leaving the Baggies board with a crucial appointment to make as they desperately try to turn their form around and end a winless run that stretches all the way back to August.
Two of the names who have been linked with the post in recent times are Michael O’Neill – as reported by The Irish Sun – and Derek McInnes, who was linked earlier today by The Scottish Sun.
McInnes has managed in the Championship, but his spell at Bristol City is unlikely to be remembered particularly fondly, while O’Neill is yet to manage in England altogether. Of course, it seems too soon into the process to suggest that both McInnes and O’Neill will be ruled out completely, but it certainly appears that they are not going to be considered for the time-being.
