West Brom set for talks with outgoing Wolfsburg manager Bruno Labbadia

Albion are set to hold talks with experienced German manager Bruno Labbadia in the coming days.
Hamburg also have him on their shortlist so we’ll have have to be quick to get him.
He has taken Wolfsburg from 16th at the end of last season to 6th in the table this season and into the Europa League. I think that says it all about Labbadia. Funnily enough I brought him up 5 years ago in the summer that we appointed Alan Irvine. He went on to Hamburg where he kept them up via the play-offs and then took them into mid-table in the next season.
He has a good track record and did a similar job with Stuttgart from 2010 until they sacked him a couple of years later after he had taken them from relegation threatened to Europa League. Style of play is quite broad because he doesn’t just have 1 style. He likes playing with a big striker so he can play direct in addition to the possession style his teams will normally play with. He’s also fluid with systems having used 4231, 433 and 4312 with Wolfsburg.
