West Brom's head coach, Carlos Corberan, has emphasised his dedication to his current role amid rumours linking him to the vacant managerial position at Leicester City. The Foxes recently parted ways with Steve Cooper after a 2-1 loss to Chelsea, leaving them 16th in the Premier League standings. Despite speculation involving several potential candidates, including Corberan, he remains committed to West Bromwich.
"I can only say how focused I am at West Bromwich, how proud I feel to be the coach of this amazing club," Corberan stated. "I understand that football always has speculation around, but I didn't even know that Leicester's coach was sacked, for example, until last night. There is so much speculation that can appear out of my control. I am completely focused on my work, my club, to get better form, to give fans better results and hopefully our fans don't feel any type of lack of respect because there are always things in the media we cannot control."
