Carlos Carvalhal has joined Slavisa Jokanovic and David Wagner in the race for the West Brom job.

The Baggies added former Sheffield Wednesday boss Carvalhal to their shortlist following the astonishing axing of Darren Moore , who had the club in fourth.

Former Fulham manager Jokanovic has strong support from the hierarchy and could be favourite while ex-Huddersfield boss Wagner is also in the frame.

West Brom are looking for a specialist in promotion to guide them into the Premier League and Jokanovic and Wagner have that on their CV while Carvalhal gave Swansea a major lift last season.

West Brom have been widely criticised for pulling the trigger on Moore so quickly but there had been a slump in results and the club believe the squad should have been good enough to go up automatically.

Moore’s assistant Graeme Jones looks set to leave for Luton in the summer and West Brom have acted quickly and ruthlessly.

The hope had been to give Moore the Ipswich game on Saturday and Swansea in midweek before making a decision around the international break.

But the disappointing draw with Ipswich forced the hand and now the hunt is on to make a quick but well qualified appointment.

Carvalhal did well at Sheffield Wednesday and could not avoid relegation at Swansea but his stick remains high.

Jokanovic is ready to return to management after being sacked by Fulham and would be keen with West Brom looking to get it done as soon as possible.
