Albion are set to face Rafa Benitez in the Championship next season.
The former Real Madrid and Liverpool boss has reportedly agreed to stay at relegated Newcastle.
Benitez is set to sign a three-year deal today after receiving assurances in writing from owner Mike Ashley.
He has been promised a large transfer kitty, with complete control over player recruitment.
Benitez will attempt to emulate Albion boss Chris Hughton, who took Newcastle straight back up as champions six years ago after they were relegated from the Premier League.
