Price tag set as Premier League club target West Brom boss Carlos Corberan
West Brom boss Carlos Corberan will cost Leicester City between £3.5m and £4m in compensation if they want him to replace Enzo Maresca, as per The Telegraph.
West Brom manager Corberan has been held in high regard for some time, and it seems Leicester City are keen on taking him with them to the Premier League.
Having held numerous coaching roles before, the Spaniard first emerged in English shores as U21s boss at Leeds United, also working as part of Marcelo Bielsa’s backroom team. He would then impress in his first senior role in the EFL with Huddersfield Town.
A short stint in Greece with Olympiacos came in between his Terriers exit and move to West Brom, where he has become an adored figure since replacing Steve Bruce in October 2022.
Now, amid rumoured interest from a now managerless Leicester City, Corberan’s compensation price has emerged.
The Telegraph reports that he will command a fee between £3.5m and £4m if the Foxes want him to replace new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca. The cost could be a ‘deterrent’ amid their financial problems but Corberan is a leading candidate regardless.
Fending off interest
It probably won’t be a surprise to West Brom that Corberan is attracting admiring glances from elsewhere.
His work at The Hawthorns has been hugely impressive and many will feel it’s a matter of when he gets a shot to prove himself in the Premier League, rather than if.
The Baggies will be determined to give him that chance themselves though. They hold ambitions of a top-flight return and having made it to the play-offs in the 2023/24 season, they’ll be keen to go one better next time around.
Whether that proves to be the case though, time will tell. West Brom could be impacted by the managerial merry-go-round as Leicester City target Corberan.
A smart appointment?
From the Leicester City perspective, Corberan could be a great appointment.
