West Bromwich Albion are set to land Julian Dicks.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Julian Dicks has agreed to join Slaven Bilic’s coaching staff after leaving his role at Heybridge Swifts.
Bilic arrived as the new Baggies boss last month, and moved to bring in Danilio Butorovic and Dean Racuinca to his coaching staff.
Whilst Baggies fans are now hoping that he will begin landing new signings, he’s actually about to add another piece to his backroom team.
It’s believed that Dicks has now agreed to join West Brom, meaning he will reunite with Bilic having worked on his team at West Ham United.
Dicks, 50, is a West Ham hero from his playing days, and he moved from managing West Ham Ladies to Bilic’s coaching staff in the summer of 2015.
When Bilic was sacked in November 2017, Dicks departed too, and just shy of a year later, he took on a managerial role with non-league side Heybridge Swifts.
Swifts have today confirmed that Dicks has left the club, allowing him to make his move to West Brom, which has been all agreed.
That will beef up Bilic’s backroom team, adding a well-respected coach who knows Bilic inside out, and follows the move to bring in Paul Terry as a manager for the club’s loan players.
