Sam Allardyce is in talks over taking over as West Bromwich Albion manager on a short-term deal with talks to thrash out the final details happening on Wednesday.
Current boss Slaven Bilic is set to be sacked and Sportsmail understands negotiations with Allardyce are progressing - but sources claim there is another candidate in the running.
The former Bolton, Sunderland and England manager is likely to be in place in time for Sunday's local derby against Aston Villa - in what will be his first management job since he was sacked by Everton in 2018.
