Former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder and Lincoln manager Michael Appleton are under consideration to replace Sam Allardyce at West Brom.

Allardyce confirmed on Wednesday he would be quitting at the end of the season rather than see out the additional 12 months of his contract.

Wilder, 53, is out of work after his exit from Sheffield United in March.

He took the Blades from League One to the Premier League and was named the 2019 LMA Manager of the Year.

Appleton, 45, is a former West Brom player who has been linked with the manager's job before.

He returned to the club for a short period in 2019 when he became first-team coach to temporary boss Jimmy Shan.

Appleton then became Under-23s manager but left in September 2019 to take the Lincoln job.

On Wednesday, Lincoln beat Sunderland 2-0 in a League One play-off semi-final first leg.
