West Brom are set to hold talks with Frank Lampard over becoming new manager

It was the first time Big Sam had ever experienced dropping out of the top-flight in more than 500 games as manager.

West Brom chiefs are now on the hunt for a new boss to lead their Championship charge as they aim to break back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Ex-Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was an early frontrunner to take over.

But Lampard is also on the club’s shortlist and is likely to be interviewed for the role.

The former England midfielder has experienced life in the Championship before having managed Derby before taking over at Chelsea.

While Rams chief, Lampard was able to bring in Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori on loan – setting them on the way to stardom.

With the two Chelsea loanees on the books, Lampard led Derby to the Championship play-offs final in his debut season – losing to Aston Villa.

Lampard lasted just 18 months in charge of the Blues before he was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Lampard – also a Crystal Palace target in recent weeks – has said he is open to working in the Championship again.

“I love working in management more than I thought I would.”
