West Brom have sacked Darren Moore with the club fourth in the Championship table - but who could be set to replace him?

Who would you like to see as next Albion boss?

Former Albion defender Moore was relieved of his duties following the 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town, following a run of three games without a win. The club have also failed to win at home in 2019.

Here are the bookies' early favourites to replace him*.

Lee Johnson - 3/1

Current manager at Bristol City, Johnson has guided the Robins to seventh place in the Championship this season.

Slavisa Jokanovic - 4/1

Former Fulham boss, Jokanovic helped lead the Cottagers to promotion via the playoffs last season, but was sacked by the club following a poor start to their Premier League campaign.

David Wagner - 5/1

Out of work following his departure from Huddersfield Town earlier this season. He helped secure the Terriers' promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs.

David Moyes - 7/1

Former Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham boss. Moyes is available, but has saw his stock fall following his brilliant spell at Goodison Park, which earned him his move to Old Trafford to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.

Steve Clarke - 11/1

Former Albion boss Steve Clarke had managed at The Hawthorns in 2012/13 before departing. He's had spells with Reading, Aston Villa and Kilmarnock since. He remains manager of the Scottish Premier League side.

Sam Allardyce - 14/1

From the Black Country, Sam Allardyce has a storied managerial career that includes spells with Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Everton.

He famously managed England for just 67 days, departing by mutual consent following allegations of malpractice.

Alan Pardew - 16/1

Last in charge of the Baggies last season, reigning over a dreadful run of results having replaced Tony Pulis.

Carlos Carvalhal - 18/1

Former Swansea City boss, Carvalhal also managed Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship. Has managed a total of 17 clubs over a 21-year career in coaching so far.

Nigel Pearson - 18/1

Highly credited for his work at Leicester City ahead of their Premier League title winning campaign. Pearson has previously held the caretaker role at Albion.

He's worked with Derby in the Championship too, albeit for a short time.

Mark Hughes - 20/1

Last in charge of Southampton before his departure from St Mary's. Hughes has previous managerial experience with Stoke, QPR, Fulham, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers.

*Odds correct at time of writing for the market of being the manager of West Brom for the opening game of the 2019/20 season.
