“Living in the clouds” – Birmingham City linked with shock swoop for West Brom man
Birmingham City have reportedly made contact with the representatives of West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan.
Birmingham City are preparing for life in League One after their relegation from the Championship.
The Blues sat sixth in the table when they controversially replaced John Eustace with Wayne Rooney in October, but after a dramatic decline in form, the Blues were relegated on the final day of the campaign, and they will play in the third tier for the first time in 30 years next season.
Birmingham are on the hunt for a new manager after Tony Mowbray stepped down due to health reasons, and a host of names have been linked with the vacancy at St Andrew’s in recent weeks, including Liam Rosenior, Alex Neil and Paul Heckingbottom.
West Bromwich Albion head coach Carlos Corberan is the latest name on the Blues’ radar, and according to Football Insider, the Spaniard’s reprasentatives have been in contact with the Midlands outfit.
Corberan led the Baggies to a fifth-placed finish in the Championship this season, and while they were beaten by Southampton in the play-off semi-finals, the 41-year-old is attracting plenty of interest this summer.
Burnley are said to be interested in Corberan as they search for a replacement for Vincent Kompany after his move to Bayern Munich, while he is also believed to be under consideration by Leicester City, who are expected to lose Enzo Maresca to Chelsea.
Corberan is reportedly “keen to leave West Brom this summer after facing numerous challenges during his time at The Hawthorns”, and it seems as though he has no shortage of suitors.
