Pepe Mel (WBA managers latest)

Would be an interesting appointment!

Know much about him?

I'm unfamiliar with La Liga, tbh.

Plays good football, was popular with the Betis fans. Struggled this season as they got into Europe and had another squad upheaval - with nobody very good coming in. Believe he fell out with the President and him being sacked wasn't very popular.

Like the sound of him to be honest.

The style of football played is a big thing with Albion fans and he certainly fits the bill with that.

Seems like he was forced to sell all his best players this season after doing brilliantly the past few years?

A gamble (no PL experience)......but who isn't.

He deffo excites me more than the other names being linked (Jol, Solskjaer, McKay, Clement, Etc...)

@StevenWBA: Hearing that Pepe Mel (barring any unforseen problems) will be appointed #wba Head Coach within the next 48 hours. #wba

@chrislepkowski: Pepe Mel could be named #wba boss by end of wk according to some in Spain. Hearing from sources here he's due for further talks on Friday

@chrislepkowski: Been learning English for a year or so, not contracted to anyone (affordable too ) and seemingly highly rated highly by media in Spain. #wba

@StevenWBA: Told Jose 'Pepe' Mel will sign 12 month rolling contract with #wba if all goes to plan on Friday. Most likely take charge from #NUFC game.

@smigsie: @chrislepkowski His Betis side were great to watch last 2 seasons,had to sell most of his team this season also had a bad run of injuries
