It is within this context that Alex Crook of talkSPORT suggests Mowbray, who previously spent a stint at the Hawthorns between 2006 and 2009, was among the candidates in the running for West Brom’s unoccupied top job. In a post to X on Friday evening, the reporter claimed that the Baggies “spoke to former manager Tony Mowbray, but he did not see this as the right job to return”.
Instead, it is stated that West Brom are closing in on the appointment of Raphael Wicky, who is currently out of work having parted company with BSC Young Boys last March. The 47-year-old is understood to be in advanced talks with Albion, according to multiple reports, and has also previously spent time in charge of FC Basel and Chicago Fire.
