West Brom are not expected to target Rob Edwards or John Eustance for their managerial vacancy, according to Sky Sports.

The outlet reported on 15 January that the Baggies will not pursue the current Blackburn boss, or even Edwards, despite his recent sacking at Luton.

It is stated that Rene Hake will not consider further talks with Albion after their recent pursuit of Raphael Wicky broke down.

The Baggies are still searching for a replacement for Carlos Corberan who left for Valencia on Christmas Day.

West Brom to appoint new manager soon

The Baggies need to secure a new manager as soon as possible or it could derail a promising season at The Hawthorns.

The Albion currently occupy the final playoff place in the second tier but are only a point above Blackburn with 26 matches played so far.

However, the ongoing turmoil since Corberan's departure threatens to impede that progress.

Blackburn boss John Eustace is reportedly not under consideration.

In an ideal world, the Baggies would have the new manager in place and be able to work with him to identify targets in the winter transfer window.

This is not the case and the delay could stop the Black Country club from bringing in new players as Don Goodman exclusively told West Brom News.

Time is running out, with two weeks of the window already gone and it is only a matter of time before it is too late to make the necessary additions to the playing squad and the season starts to possibly drop off.
