West Brom anticipate Carlos Corberan blow as Burnley manager target ‘in talks’

Burnley are still searching for a new head coach following the departure of Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich and Corberan, despite being happy at West Brom, cannot be ruled out.

The Clarets have been in advanced talks with ex-Netherlands international striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been unemployed since leaving the managerial post at PSV Eindhoven at the end of the 2022/23 season. An update on that front could squander Burnley’s chances, however, meaning other targets may have to be considered instead.

West Brom will be hoping van Nistelrooy decides to take the job at Turf Moor rather than Old Trafford. As reported by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri last week, Corberan is among three candidates for the Burnley job, with van Nistelrooy and an unnamed contender the other two.
