West Bromwich Albion want former Huddersfield Town boss Carlos Corberan to be their new manager.
It is understood both parties are keen to strike a deal, but as yet there is no agreement over the precise terms of the contract.
Corberan, 39, was part of Marcelo Bielsa's coaching team at Leeds United but left to join Huddersfield in 2020.
The Spaniard guided the West Yorkshire side to last season's Championship play-off final.
They lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at Wembley, and Corberan subsequently left the club in the summer, believing he had taken them as far as he could.
