Managers Under Consideration for Stoke, West Brom

John Heitinga has emerged as the 5/2 favorite to become the next manager of West Bromwich Albion, following the departure of Carlos Corberan. Currently serving as assistant coach at Liverpool, Heitinga's successful background may entice West Brom's board to make a move soon. In contrast, Mark Robins is the strong favorite at 2/5 to take over as Stoke City manager after the sacking of Narcis Pelach, who had a disappointing tenure. Robins previously led Coventry City to notable cup runs and could potentially revitalize Stoke, who have struggled since their Premier League relegation. Meanwhile, Luke Williams, currently at Swansea, has been linked to the West Brom job but insists he is focused on his current position, with no contact made yet regarding the vacancy. The managerial searches at both clubs reflect their respective ambitions in the Championship, as they aim to improve their standings and prospects for promotion.
