Gary Megson will remain in charge of West Brom when they host Newcastle on Tuesday night and it is expected to be his last game as interim manager.
The 58-year-old has been overseeing first team affairs since Tony Pulis was sacked a week ago.
He guided West Brom to a creditable 1-1 draw against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday.
He will carry on in the role while the club search for a new manager.
Former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is a leading candidate to succeed Pulis after holding talks with West Brom over the weekend.
