Tony Mowbray is set to take over as West Brom manager after successful talks, according to Talkwba.

The Baggies insider reported to X on 17 January that the 61-year-old is likely to return to The Hawthorns, 16 years after departing from his first spell in charge.

The former Sunderland boss has held successful talks with the Albion hierarchy and could be set to end the lengthy search for a new head coach in B71.

West Brom set to appoint Tony Mowbray

It has been a lengthy recruitment process in the West Midlands but Albion finally appear to have found the man to replace Carlos Corberan.

After the Spaniard's departure for Valencia, the Baggies have held talks with the likes of John Heitinga, Raphael Wicky, Urs Fischer and Rene Hake but opted against hiring them.

It appears that the former Albion manager and his vast experience of the Championship has been called on which gives The Hawthorns faithful something to be excited about.

The ex-Celtic boss managed to transform Sunderland into true promotion contenders during his spell there and he will hope to do the same in his second stint in Black Country.
