Sean Dyche is available and has two Championship promotions to his name.
West Bromwich Albion have been without a manager since Carlos Corberan departed the club for Valencia on Christmas Day.
The Baggies had been in talks with Raphael Wicky to become the club's new boss, but talks broke down between the two parties, according to Football Insider.
With the West Midlands club still well-placed for a promotion push, Shilen Patel should consider appointing Sean Dyche, who has two Championship promotions on his CV.
Dyche was relieved of his duties at Goodison Park after winning just one of their last 11 matches, leaving the club one point above the relegation zone.
The Toffees acted swiftly to appoint a new manager and announced the return of David Moyes, who enjoyed 11 seasons with the club during his previous stint.
Everton's fear of relegation forced the club to act, with the club desperate to avoid the drop before moving to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
The Toffees offered no thanks to Dyche in their announcement of his departure, suggesting the 53-year-old left Goodison Park on negative terms.
Dyche arrived on Merseyside with the club fighting for survival and credit must be afforded to him for ensuring their Premier League status for two consecutive seasons.
He built a strong defensive unit during his tenure and pulled off some impressive results this season, including draws with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Furthermore, the 53-year-old had to cope with the departures of Amadou Onana and Alex Iwobi, as well as multiple points deductions last season.
The availability of Dyche has occurred at just the right time for the Baggies, who have now gone three weeks without a manager.
Despite being managerless, West Brom have been on a solid run of form, picking up 11 points in their last seven games to leave them in sixth position.
Given their current standing, a move to the Hawthorns could appeal to Dyche, who may see promotion potential in a club that is steeped in history.
As for West Brom, they should be eyeing a move to Dyche, who has a formidable record at Championship level and beyond. The 53-year-old achieved two promotions to the Premier League with Burnley, including one as champions.
In the Premier League, Dyche achieved the monumental feat of guiding the Clarets to a seventh placed finish and the Europa League during his tenure.
While the Englishman is often criticised for his defensive style of play, it would be hard to argue against all he has achieved in English football.
Dyche is a loyal man and, having managed only three clubs in his 12 years as a head coach, West Brom would be appointing a man for the long haul.
Although the Baggies will be frustrated with their manager predicament, the club may have just been handed the ideal opportunity, with Dyche seemingly available.
It could be argued that the 53-year-old deserves to be at the helm of a Premier League club, but the allure of a club like West Brom could be too good to refuse.
