West Bromwich Albion's sporting director, Andrew Nestor, revealed Ryan Mason was the club's top pick for head coach after Tony Mowbray's sacking. The move signals a new strategic direction focused on a fresh playing style and squad evolution.
Keith Andrews, previously Brentford's set-piece coach, has been unexpectedly appointed head coach, marking his first senior managerial role. This rapid ascent follows Thomas Frank's departure, a bold move for the former Ireland international, yet his immediate impact on the team's set-piece success hints at a promising tenure.
