Darren Moore is in charge of West Bromwich Albion at the moment.

Chris Kirkland has stated on social networking site Twitter that he wants Darren Moore to remain in charge of West Bromwich Albion beyond the summer.

Moore was given the West Brom managerial role in April 2018 and will remain in charge of the Baggies until the end of the season.

The 44-year-old has done a good job at The Hawthorns so far, although it is unlikely that West Brom will retain their Premier League status for the 2018-19 campaign.

Former Wigan Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kirkland, who had a loan spell at West Brom from Liverpool in 2005-06, wants Moore to remain the Baggies’ manager.

Risky appointment

Moore has done well as the West Brom manager, but there would be an element of risk involved if he remains in charge of the Baggies in the Championship.

For West Brom to bounce straight back into the Premier League, they will need someone who can make an instant impact and who has some sort of managerial experience and has been in similar situations before.
