West Brom v Cardiff City: Chris Lepkowski gushes over Carlos Corberan after win
Chris Lepkowski has waxed lyrical over Carlos Corberan as West Brom secured a 2-0 victory against Cardiff City on Tuesday, 13 February.
The former Birmingham Mail journalist believes that the Spaniard is the best squad manager in the current era at the Hawthorns.
With the win against Cardiff, the club moved to 52 points and remain fifth in the Championship standings.
Via Twitter, Lepkowski wrote: “He’s the best ‘squad’ manager I can recall; essential in this current era. Knows how to achieve results using 15 outfield players beyond knowing his best XI. Has a plan for all 90 minutes (and beyond) Opposition radar also strong. Able to adapt where necessary. He’s doing very well.”
Corberan has made West Brom serious promotion contenders
Despite facing challenges such as limited financial resources and squad depth issues, Corberan has showcased his managerial brilliance at the Hawthorns.
His ability to maximise the potential of his squad, evident in their competitive position in the Championship despite minimal investment in new players, speaks volumes about his tactical acumen and man-management skills.
Corberan’s strategic approach extends beyond just fielding a starting XI as he effectively utilises his entire squad, ensuring that even fringe players contribute meaningfully when called upon.
His meticulous planning and adaptability throughout matches, as noted by opposition radar awareness and in-game adjustments, underline his managerial astuteness.
Under his guidance, West Brom have emerged as serious promotion contenders, challenging for a place in the playoffs despite the odds stacked against them.
His ability to overcome obstacles and extract the best from his squad reflects his status as one of the finest managers in the Championship, showcasing resilience, tactical ingenuity and a deep understanding of the game.
Hopefully, he can guide this side to the promised land again and given the impressive names brought in during January, things are looking positive.
