Next West Brom boss: Steve Bruce red-hot favourite

Albion sacked the Frenchman just seven months into a four-year contract following a poor run of results dating back to early December.

Baggies fans will be desperate for the next manager to steady the ship with automatic promotion still not out of the question.

The former Newcastle boss is currently the 1/8 favourite to take over at the helm.

The 61-year-old has plenty of experience in the West Midlands having previously managed Aston Villa and Birmingham City.

Ex-Albion boss Slaven Bilic is currently second in the market at 9/1 with fans singing his name at recent games.

Enzo Meresca (11/1) is currently out of work having been dismissed by Parma.

The Italian was hired as manager of the Elite Development squad at Manchester City before returning to Italy.

Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray is a 12/1 shot and is still well thought of during his reign at The Hawthorns.

Other names include Alex Neil (14/1) who is currently out of work after leaving Preston and former player and current Baggies coach James Morrison at 16/1
