According to reports West Ham are keeping tabs on Carlos Corberan with pressure growing on manager David Moyes.
It is our understanding that David Moyes has the backing of the owners, However, the club are thinking of the future and West Brom’s Carlos Corbean is being considered as a potential replacement beyond this season.
Plan B?
The Spaniard has only been at the Baggies since October but has worked wonders at the club.
He took over the club when it was second-bottom in the Championship and has helped them climb up to ninth.
Thinking Of The Future
Carlos Corberán has already experienced the challenges of England’s second tier during his coaching career.
After retiring at the age of 23, the former goalkeeper began his days in the dugout by overseeing youth development in his native Spain.

Corberán – who has a doctorate in football – worked various roles before being promoted to the technical team at Spanish top-flight club Villarreal.
Carlos used spells as an assistant coach in Saudi Arabia to further improve his understanding of the game from a managerial perspective.
Two stints working lead roles in Cyprus provided a first taste of senior management, and paved the way for the Spaniard to earn himself an opportunity in England at Leeds United – balancing academy and first-team duties under Marcelo Bielsa between 2017-2020.
Coached By Bielsa
Assisting the Argentine in senior matters proved beneficial, with the now 39-year-old helping the Whites to promotion from the Sky Bet Championship as league winners. And Carlos used this success to begin a new chapter in his career by becoming Head Coach at local rivals Huddersfield Town.
It was an eye-catching tenure in West Yorkshire, with Corberán guiding the Terriers to the 2022 Play-Off Final in his second season. And the new Baggies boss will hope his return to England following a spell at Olympiacos will provide similar Championship progress.
