Former West Bromwich Albion manager, who led the club to promotion to the Premier League, is reportedly set to return to management with a national team. The 57-year-old has been out of work since leaving his last role and is now poised to take charge of a national side, according to sources close to the situation.
Promotion-Winning Pedigree
The manager in question guided West Brom to promotion from the Championship during the 2019-20 season, securing an automatic promotion spot. His tenure at The Hawthorns was marked by a strong defensive record and effective team management, earning him praise from players and fans alike. After leaving the club, he has been linked with several roles but has remained out of the spotlight.
National Team Opportunity
Reports suggest that the former Baggies boss is in advanced talks with a national football association, with a deal expected to be finalized in the coming days.

This move would mark his first foray into international management.
Reactions and Speculation
While neither the manager nor the national association has confirmed the news, speculation has been rife among West Brom supporters and football pundits. One source commented, "He has the experience and tactical knowledge to make a real impact at international level. It would be a great opportunity for both parties." The appointment is expected to be announced officially within the next week.
