West Bromwich Albion joint-caretaker boss Chris Brunt expects the interim management team of himself, Boaz Myhill and Damia Abella to be in charge for the New Year's Day home game with Preston North End.
Since Carlos Corberan's Christmas Eve exit to Valencia, Albion have been linked with a lot of names, headed by ex-Coventry City boss Mark Robins.
But the club have stated that they will take their time over the impending appointment.
"As far as I am aware, we will be preparing for the game against Preston," Brunt told BBC Radio WM after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.
