The Spaniard left Albion in December to take over at hometown club Valencia after two years with the West Midlands side.

The Baggies then reappointed Mowbray, who re-joined the club after he was forced to depart Birmingham City due to health concerns in February 2023.

West Bromwich Albion left it late to deliver their Christmas Eve bombshell that Carlos Corberan was leaving to take over at Valencia.

Santa Claus was well into his round when the announcement came at just 20 minutes to midnight.

Corberan knows the purse strings are likely to remain tight for a while longer as the club tries to stay the right side of the English Football League’s profit and sustainability rules, which allow for losses of up to £39m over a three-year period.

The financial results for 2023-24 are set to be worse due to the absence of parachute payments alongside the continued servicing of debts.

It is hardly surprising given Corberan worked with Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds for two years as Under-23s coach, the Argentine’s work ethic has rubbed off on the 41-year-old.

“I didn’t score enough last season and I want to be scoring a lot more regularly. Hopefully

West Bromwich Albion head coach Carlos Corberan hopes his side’s pre-season “difficulties” could end up making the Championship club stronger.

But, having come under new ownership in February, when American businessman Shilen Patel took over, Corberan had already been warned that
