5 managers who West Bromwich Albion should target for next season

#2 Dean Smith

Brentford v Derby County - Sky Bet Championship

This may come as a surprise, but Dean Smith would be ideal for West Brom. The 47-year-old is experienced at this level and his Brentford side play exciting and attacking football. If West Brom are to bounce back at the first attempt next season, then that is the type of football they should go for.

Smith started his managerial career at Walsall and he spent four seasons with the League One side. He was snapped up by Brentford in November 2015 and has been there since. He is a popular man at Griffin Park and he would be hard to lure away.

However, if West Brom want someone who has been in the Championship before then Smith would be ideal for them.
