West Bromwich Albion have reportedly turned their attention to former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Oscar Garcia following Pepe Mel's exit.

The Baggies are in the hunt for a new head coach after the Spaniard left The Hawthorns by mutual consent on Monday after just four months in charge.

Garcia has become available after he opted to resign as Brighton boss this week following his side's playoff semi-final defeat to Derby County.

According to The Independent, West Brom are planning to take their time when appointing a new boss, but are considering contacting Garcia regarding the vacancy.

Garcia spent just under one year with the Championship outfit.
