The Scot was named new manager of West Bromwich Albion on the weekend.
Irvine, 55, has played a prominent role at Finch Farm, helping the progress of exciting youngsters such as Ross Barkley, Ryan Ledson and Liam Walsh, and manager Roberto Martinez will cast his net wide to find someone capable of continuing his crucial work, says the Liverpool Echo.
