Russell Slade linked with West Bromwich Albion job

Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade has been linked with a summer switch to West Bromwich Albion.

Slade has guided Orient to third place in League One this season, and the club are currently preparing for their showdown with Rotherham United in the playoff final.

However, according to the Birmingham Mail, the 53-year-old is another name to be spoken about regarding the vacant managerial role at The Hawthorns after the departure of Pepe Mel earlier this month.

Slade is considered as an outsider to move to the West Midlands, but he joins a list of names, including Chris Hughton, Dave Jones and Tim Sherwood, who are said to be in the running for the position.
