Swansea City boss Luke Williams still favourite for West Brom job as Liverpool coach also emerges
Swansea City boss Luke Williams remains the bookies' favourite to take over the vacancy at West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies have been without a manager since Carlos Corberan left his post to join Spanish giants Valencia shortly before Christmas, and the search for a successor is now under way, with the rumour mill recently churning out Williams' name as a possibility.
The current Swans boss appeared to distance himself from vacancy, stating he was fully focused on his 'journey' in SA1. However, interestingly, he stopped short of categorically ruling anything out. You can read his comments here.

Williams is currently top of the contenders with SkyBet at 9/4, but is closely followed by Liverpool coach John Heitinga (9/2), who has also emerged as a possible frontrunner in the last few days.
The 41-year-old has made a hugely positive impression under Anfield boss Arne Slot, having previously guided Ajax to third place before joining the backroom team at West Ham United.
Mark Robins (5/1) and Steven Schumacher (8/1) have also been tipped as possibilities, while Russell Martin is also still among the runners and riders at 9/1 despite suggestions he has already turned down the job.
