West Bromwich Albion: Carlos Corberán celebrates his annual biennium

Rarely surprising, given that Corberán worked with Marcelo Bielsa in Leeds for two years as an under-23 school teacher, the Argentinian’s artistic ethic has rubbed off on the 41-year-old.

He had to be dry and cool, as for the first year he did not pay a transfer fee, but the club’s trajectory changed when owner Shilen Patel, a Florida-based investor who has until now been involved as a minority shareholder in the club Italian. Bologna, purchased Guochuan Lai’s Baggies earlier this year.

“The first thing they did was pay attention to everyone, perceive them, analyze their process and value them,” added Corberán.

“So, they have earned recognition and have added their level of ideas, football wisdom and organizational ideas. This club has grown, even with financial restrictions, for me the club is growing in the right direction.

“We haven’t picked up on everything Shilen wants to do at this club because he’s had restrictions and a reduced time frame, but if I’m a fan I’d deal with the things he has in mind. “.

Corberan was linked with the Burnley job before Scott Parker was appointed in the summer, and Leeds were also reported to be interested in tempting him back to Elland Road last year.

That led to a new contract that committed him to Albion until 2027, but the former Huddersfield and Olympiakos manager is uncomfortable with the interest.

“When I’m connected with the golf team, I believe in an uncomfortable technique for our fans that is no longer relaxed for me,” he said. “I’m glad that this seems because it has the impact that we are doing things well.

“Close to a miserable season, no one wants you as a school teacher. When the society says it loves you it is because you have carried out a correct process for your membership.

“My biggest goal is to set my highest goal here. I think that’s more of a good thing than a bad thing; Realizing that can be uncomfortable for society that doesn’t know you or your goals.”
