Roberto Di Matteo has emerged as the shock favourite to return as West Bromwich Albion manager in place of the sacked Steve Clarke.

The Italian managed the Baggies from 2009-2011, taking the club into the Premier League, before he was sacked after a run of poor form.

The 43 year-old went on to manage Chelsea where he guided the club to their first ever Champions League win as well as an FA Cup.
