ChampionshipWest Bromwich Albion expect to have a new head coach in place by the time their first-team squad returns for pre-season training at the end of June.

The Baggies are still to settle on a permanent replacement for Darren Moore, who was sacked on 9 March.

Once West Brom were eliminated from the play-offs, it was imagined a new manager would be in place within a matter of days.

Club sources are adamant there is no issue and it is merely a case of the Baggies working their way through a list of what they believe to be good candidates.
