West Bromwich Albion could land Belgium’s Graeme Jones.
According to the Daily Mail, Belgium assistant manager Graeme Jones is in talks with West Bromwich Albion about becoming Darren Moore’s new right-hand man at The Hawthorns.
The Baggies decided to hand Moore the manager’s job on a full-time basis after impressing as caretaker manager, racking up three wins in his six games in charge following Alan Pardew’s sacking.
West Brom will now hope that Moore can take the club back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, and have already backed him with the signing of Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Given that Moore is in his first managerial gig, West Brom are looking to pair him up with a proven assistant, and they are believed to be targeting a bold move this summer.
The Daily Mail report that West Brom want to land Belgium assistant manager Graeme Jones, and have opened talks with him about a surprise move to The Hawthorns.
Jones, 48, has been at the World Cup with Belgium this summer, helping Roberto Martinez’s men clinch a third-place finish having beaten England 2-0 in the third/fourth place play-off on Saturday.
The former striker has been with Martinez throughout his coaching career, serving as his assistant at Swansea City, Wigan Athletic, Everton and now Belgium, but now seemingly wants to go another way.
Landing Jones would be something of a coup for West Brom, and would give Moore an assistant with experience in the Premier League and Championship, as well as on the international stage.
