Former Leeds United assistant on three-man shortlist for vacant West Brom job

After helping Leeds win promotion to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa in 2020, Corberan decided to pursue a career in management with West Yorkshire neighbours Huddersfield Town. The 39-year-old was given time to implement his ideas at the John Smith’s Stadium, which after a difficult first season, was just 90 minutes away from paying dividends.

Corberan guided the Terriers to the Sky Bet Championship play-off final in May, where they were then controversially beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest. In a shock turn of events, Corberan then decided to resign from his position at Town and just a few weeks later was appointed as Olympiacos boss.
