Seemingly destined to be Leeds United manager ever since winning Marcelo Bielsa's endorsement back in 2018, Carlos Corberan has long seemed on a path that will lead him back to Elland Road. The route from Spain to Beeston may have been a complicated one with a surprise Huddersfield Town exit and then short-lived Olympiacos tenure taking him to West Bromwich Albion, but for each move Corberan has taken, he's seemingly never strayed far from the eye of those in charge at Leeds.
Too obvious a decision for Victor Orta to make, the more pragmatic Angus Kinnear is understood to be putting his focus on tried and tested in this country rather than plucking a name from Europe and for that description, Corberan ticks a lot of boxes.
Granted, there is no promotion on his CV, but he took Huddersfield and their low-salary squad all the way to Wembley and the play-off final, while his work in turning the Baggies from relegation contenders to a win away from the play-offs is also noteworthy.
