Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has been interviewed for the head coach's job at West Brom and is on a shortlist of six for the position.

An appointment is expected by the end of the week, with all candidates due to have been interviewed by Tuesday.

Sherwood, 45, parted company with Spurs on 13 May, just five months after he replaced Andre Villas-Boas as manager.

West Brom finished 17th in the Premier League in 2013-14, and Pepe Mel left his role as head coach on 12 May.

The Spaniard was the Baggies' second head coach of the season, with Steve Clarke having departed in December after four successive defeats.

Sherwood, meanwhile, took charge at Tottenham on an interim basis on 16 December and was given the job full-time a week later.

The former Spurs midfielder led the club to a sixth-place finish and Europa League qualification, but left despite a top-flight win percentage of 59%, the best of any Tottenham boss in the Premier League.

His record impressed West Brom, as did his work with young players while working as technical co-ordinator at White Hart Lane.

BBC Sport's Pat Murphy said: "The job specification at The Hawthorns has not changed - the successful applicant will be head coach, not manager, working alongside Terry Burton and Richard Garlick in the sporting and technical department.

"Whoever gets the job will be able to bring in his own coaching staff."

Former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino replaced Sherwood as Tottenham manager.
