With Tony Mowbray stepping down due to health concerns, West Bromwich Albion are on the lookout for a new manager ahead of the upcoming Championship season. Early betting odds have identified Gary O’Neil as the frontrunner to take over at the Hawthorns.
O’Neil, who recently managed Wolverhampton Wanderers, impressed many with his tactical nous and ability to steady the ship during difficult spells. His Championship experience and reputation for getting the best out of limited squads make him a strong candidate for the Baggies.
Other names reportedly in the frame include former Norwich boss Daniel Farke and ex-Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray himself, though a return is unlikely at this stage. West Brom’s hierarchy are believed to be prioritising a young, forward-thinking manager who can build on the solid foundation left by Mowbray while also pushing for promotion. Fans are hopeful that the next appointment will bring stability and a clear playing identity, something that has been inconsistent in recent years.
The next few weeks will be crucial for West Brom as they aim to make an appointment before preseason begins. With O’Neil leading the odds, all eyes will be on whether the club moves quickly to secure their man.
