The Baggies parted company with Steve Bruce on Monday after an eight-game winless run in the Championship which left them in the relegation zone.

Former Newcastle head coach Bruce was appointed as Valerien Ismael’s successor in February, three-and-a-half months after his turbulent reign at St James’ Park had drawn to a close, and handed the challenge of taking the club back into the Premier League.

However, he was only able to guide them to a 10th-place finish at the end of last season and a return of just one league win from the first 13 games of the new campaign – 5-2 against Hull City on August 20 – which had left them in 22nd place on only 11 points, proved fatal.

Now Dyche, who has been out of work since being sacked by Burnley in April, has been installed as the favourite by the bookmakers.

The former Chesterfield and Millwall player was in charge at the Clarets for 425 games and previously managed at Watford.

Ex-Huddersfield Town head coach Carlos Corberan is also in the frame, according to the bookmakers. Corberan was dismissed by Olympiacos after just 11 games earlier this season.

He took charge of the Greek club after leading the Terriers to the Championship play-off final. He was previously coach at Leeds United Under-23s.
