Ostersund boss Graham Potter is interesting West Brom.
The Daily Mail says Albion are closely monitoring the progress of Potter, who envisages a long-term future working in his native England.
Potter, a former West Brom player, has linked up with UK-based agency Key Sports Management in a move which implies his determination to break into the Premier League.
Alan Pardew was named West Brom manager in November, signing a contract until 2020, but has been unable to lift them clear of relegation trouble.
Scrutiny on Pardew's position intensified when his team crashed out of the FA Cup after a training break in Barcelona marred by the antics of four senior players who broke a club curfew and are alleged to have stolen a taxi.
