West Brom reportedly want Garry Monk as their new manager.
According to the Daily Mail, West Bromwich Albion now want to lure Birmingham City boss Garry Monk to The Hawthorns – and believe he could be tempted to make the move.
The Baggies sacked Darren Moore in March, bringing in James Shan as interim boss whilst they looked for a replacement, which has proven to be an arduous task.
West Brom pursued Preston North End boss Alex Neil, but he turned down a move to The Hawthorns, leaving the Baggies to appoint Shan until the end of the season before making a summer move.
West Brom are in the playoffs and will be hoping to return to the Premier League, and the Daily Mail now report that Birmingham City boss Monk is their new top target regardless of the division they find themselves in.
Monk, 40, became Birmingham manager last year, and has performed admirably in light of Financial Fair Play woes and even a points deduction.
A promising young manager who has previously shown promise with Swansea City and Leeds United, Monk has plenty of Football League experience as well as relative success in the Premier League.
It’s noted that the Baggies think they can pinch Monk from their local rivals, believing he can be persuaded to make a controversial move.
