Next West Brom manager betting odds - Claudio Ranieri in talks with WBA

Claudio Ranieri’s odds to be appointed next West Brom manager have tumbled to Evens after reports the Italian has held further talks with the club.

The Baggies are seeking a successor to England’s new boss Roy Hodgson and the bookmakers have had Chris Hughton as their clear favourite throughout.

But now former Chelsea manager Ranieri has emerged as a strong candidate and his odds have been slashed to a best price of 7/2 second favourite with Ladbrokes.

Albion made initial contact with out-of-work Ranieri two weeks ago and followed up their interest by holding a second round of talks with the Italian in London on Thursday.

Ranieri met with Albion chairman Jeremy Peace and the club's sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth.

He is an attractive possibility as he will not cost West Brom anything in compensation.

However, sources close to Albion stress the additional talks do not mean Ranieri will automatically be offered the vacant post.

It is understood the Baggies have also made contact with former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Ray Wilkins.

Hughton also remains high on the list of the candidates who appeal to Peace, although no formal approach for him has yet been made.

Birmingham City manager Hughton was close to replacing Roberto Di Matteo 15 months ago after being interviewed by Albion before Hodgson took up the post.
