• West Brom considering other options including Jokanovic
West Bromwich Albion plan to meet Chris Hughton next week to discuss the possibility of him becoming their manager. Hughton is out of work after surprisingly being sacked by Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday, less than 24 hours after the Premier League season finished, and West Brom have identified the 60-year-old as a leading contender for their vacancy.
West Brom’s semi-final play-off defeat against Aston Villa on penalties on Tuesday night means that the club can start to plan for next season in the Championship, and Hughton’s track record of winning two promotions from that division in the past, with Newcastle and then Brighton, makes him a strong candidate to oversee what will be a rebuilding job at the Hawthorns.
