Reports that West Brom have approached Slaven Bilic to return to the club until the end of the season are untrue, The Baggies News understands. 

West Brom are yet to appoint a new head coach after Eric Ramsay was sacked last week following a run of nine games without a win. Ramsay left The Hawthorns as the only manager in the club’s history to record a 0% win rate during his tenure.

Reports on social media suggest West Brom were engaging in discussions with Bilic’s representatives to offer a short-term deal until the end of the season, while Bilic wanted a longer-term option. 

Representatives of West Brom have told The Baggies News these rumours are untrue with no real update on the permanent head coach situation.
