West Brom 'add Roy Hodgson to shortlist of bosses in line to replace Sam Allardyce' with 73-year-old 'open to idea' of making immediate return to Premier League management after walking away from Crystal Palace

West Brom are considering Roy Hodgson as an option to replace Sam Allardyce.

As reported by The Mirror, Hodgson is open to an immediate return to management following his departure from Crystal Palace.

There had been suggestions that the 73-year-old would end his lengthy managerial career after leaving Palace, but he would consider taking charge of West Brom if approached and would be allowed to take Ray Lewington, his assistant, with him to The Hawthorns.

West Brom have added the experienced Roy Hodgson to their list of managerial candidates

Former Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is the leading candidate to replace Allardyce, who announced his decision to leave prior to the end of a campaign in which the Baggies were relegated to the Championship.
