Rene Hake Set to Manage West Bromwich Albion

Rene Hake, former assistant manager at Manchester United, is set to become the new head coach of West Bromwich Albion after reportedly agreeing to the position. Hake, who has previous managerial experience in the Netherlands, left his role at United following Erik ten Hag's dismissal in October. West Brom has been searching for a new manager since Carlos Corberan departed for Valencia, and Hake is seen as a strong candidate among the final shortlist. The Baggies currently sit sixth in the Championship, making the job an attractive opportunity for Hake as they aim for promotion. He is expected to take charge in time for their next league match against Stoke City on January 18. The club's ownership is keen on appointing a manager with prior experience, and discussions regarding Hake's contract are ongoing.
