West Brom boss Carlos Corberan has reportedly agreed a deal to take over a top European side.
After a brief spell in Greece with Olympiacos, Corberan arrived at the Hawthorns in October 2022 and led them to the brink of the play-offs in his first campaign at the club.
The club again challenged for promotion last season but missed out on a trip to Wembley after losing to eventual play-off winners Southampton in the semi-final stage.
However, despite yet another bright start that sees them seventh in the Championship table, Corberan’s time in the West Midlands looks set to be over.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Corberan has agreed a deal to replace Ruben Baraja at La Liga giants Valencia.
The report claims the Spanish club have triggered Corberan’s £2.5million release clause with an official announcement of the move expected imminently.

Corberan spent time in Valencia’s academy as a youth but never represented the club’s first team before he hung up his boots to pursue a career in coaching at the age of 23.
Valencia currently sit joint-bottom of the Spanish top flight following a dismal start to the campaign that has seen them win just two of their first 17 league fixtures.
On Monday the club announced that former Spain international Ruben Baraja had been sacked, having narrowly avoided relegation last season.
At one time one of Spain’s most dominant sides, Los Ches have endured a steep decline over the course of the last decade.
Since Nuno Espirito Santo departed in November 2015, no fewer than 15 different managers have occupied the dugout, including caretakers.
That spell also saw Gary Neville’s infamous foray into management, where he lasted just three months in charge before being sacked after a series of poor results.
