West Brom manager Pepe Mel insists his future at the club is “not important” and is instead focusing on trying to make sure Albion stay up this season.

The Spaniard took over from Steve Clarke in January and has found the going tough in his first job outside of his home country.

Mel’s first eight matches had seen the Baggies fail to collect maximum points and in the wake of another winless run, there had been reports of dressing room unrest.

The players, who were unhappy to see Clarke leave, reportedly don’t agree with Mel’s tactics or methods, and there had been talk the 51-year-old was on the verge of being forced out of The Hawthorns.
