And the Daily Mail are reporting that should Leeds take on their former under-23 coach Carlos Corberan – now West Bromwich Albion boss – as Marsch’s replacement, the Baggies would have Moore high on their list of potential replacements.

After a shocking start to the season that saw former Owls boss Steve Bruce sacked, the Baggies have recovered impressively with Corberan to sit among the play-off places.

Moore is a fan favourite at the Hawthorns having made over 100 appearances as a West Brom player. He also made his first foray into management there, taking over as caretaker in April 2018 before his surprise sacking the following March with the club fourth in the Championship table.

The Star has reason to believe Moore has already been of at least cursory interest from two Championship clubs this season, though it is believed those sprouts of interest did not materialise into an official approach to the club on either occasion.

The 48-year-old has always maintained absolute commitment to the project at Sheffield Wednesday and has built a strong relationship with the club’s chairman Dejphon Chansiri.
