West Bromwich Albion have received a number of applications for the role of sporting and technical director, including a number from abroad. But Dan Ashworth, who currently holds the role and will leave next summer, insists the club will take time to make their decision. "We've had approaches from abroad, especially as the role is more common in Europe," said Ashworth.
"But we don't have a timeframe on a shortlist. We are very much going through the process."
"We've done this a couple of times before when we have been looking for a new head coach," he told the club website.
"We're still sifting through applications, talking to people and preparing a shortlist to ultimately make sure we get the right person."
