A big billionaire club are now interested in making West Brom boss Carlos Corberan their next manager, according to a worrying new claim.
West Brom stay top of the Championship
The Baggies knew that victory at home to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday would see them return to the top of the Championship table, following Sunderland’s 1-0 win at home to Middlesbrough earlier in the day.
While it may not have been West Brom’s most earth-shattering performance of the season so far, they still picked up all three points by virtue of a 1-0 win. Josh Maja scored the only goal of the game, finding the net in the second half, as his excellent start to the campaign continues.
On this form, the Baggies look like one of the front-runners to be in the automatic promotion places this season, especially with fellow pre-season favourites Leeds United not exactly excelling under Daniel Farke, sitting in sixth place. Sunderland look a threat, however, and are only a point behind in second position, but whether they have the staying power over a 46-game season remains to be seen.
Worrying update over Corberan’s West Brom future
According to The Sunday Mirror [via MOT Leeds News], Leeds could look to steal Corberan away from West Brom, as the 49ers Enterprises-owned billionaire club eye a potential replacement for under-fire manager Farke.
It is claimed that the 41-year-old has a £2m release clause in his contract that the Whites could look to trigger, should they opt to part ways with their current boss.
