BBC Radio WM - BBC Radio WM, Albion welcome back Tony Mowbray West Bromwich Albion have confirmed that Tony Mowbray as their new head coach.

Despite reports suggesting otherwise, I understand that Albion are still very much in the interview stage in their search for a new head coach and the job hasn’t been offered to anyone yet #WBA

Slightly later on here but for those Blue Sky subscribers who have completely deserted X…

It’s my understanding that #WBA aren’t pursuing Swansea head coach, Luke Williams for their vacant role.

It’s likely another case of an agent drumming up interest in their client, as seen with Martin links.

Covering Albion for BBC Radio WM has been my first club reporter role.

Carlos Corberan was a pleasure to interview. A coach with a brilliant tactical mind, who answered questions in depth.

More importantly, he is a decent, family man. Good luck with the move back home πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ #WBA

I understand this morning that talks are ongoing between Valencia & #WBA after an official approach to speak to head coach Carlos Corberan has been made by the Spanish club. No deal done yet though.

It’s worth following the BBC Sport Albion page for developments - bbc.in/3BMY9un

Albion boss Carlos Corberan talks tactics - BBC Sounds Albion head coach Carlos Corberan details their recent trend of scoring and conceding.

I asked Carlos Corberan about #WBA's recent upturn in scoring goals at home (6 in the last 3 after 2 in 7) but also conceding (4 in 3 after just 1 in 7) and what followed was a mini coaching seminar. I found it interesting. Hopefully you do too! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

#WBA head coach Carlos Corberan was asked in his press conference about speculation that Wolves have him on a shortlist of potential managers who could replace Gary O’Neil #wwfc

FT: #WBA 2-2 Norwich - GOALS!! 😲

Unbeaten in 8 or 1 win in 10. Which way do you look at the current run of form? Baggies fans might have come away from the Hawthorns a bit happier having seen some goals at least and the performance was largely good. CC felt they dropped after 70 mins.

No major surprise to see an unchanged #WBA team. I thought Grant supported Maja well up top v Hull but also linked up well out wide with MJ. No Diangana in the squad. Harry Whitwell, who is very highly thought of by Carlos Corberan, gets his place on the bench

I guess there’s still a migration of people to happen over here. I still have my X account but it would be nice to see more people on here too. The last game before the international break was decent, so hopefully #WBA can build on that.
