Carlos Corberan has expressed his admiration for Coventry City manager Mark Robins, who has been leading the Sky Blues for nearly seven years. The West Bromwich Albion boss has openly stated his desire to emulate Robins’ tenure at The Hawthorns. Corberan has acknowledged that, though he typically focuses on the immediate game at hand, he envisions achieving remarkable accomplishments with West Brom if he can match Robins’ lengthy stay at Coventry.
Robins took charge of Coventry in 2017 and successfully guided the club to two promotions, coming very close to a third in the previous season, where they narrowly missed out in the playoff final. In a recent interview with the Express and Star, Corberan explained his mindset, emphasizing his intense focus on each match. He expressed his fondness for this approach and how it makes long-term planning a challenge for him. Nevertheless, he noted that it would be a significant achievement if he were to remain at West Brom for an extended period, signaling that he has accomplished remarkable feats with the club.
Reflecting on his own journey, Corberan highlighted the significance of his one-year anniversary at the club, recalling the excitement he felt when he first saw his name on the board at the stadium. He expressed a desire to witness a different year on that board in the future. He commended Mark Robins as a very special manager, praising his calm demeanor and acknowledging the passion that lies beneath it. Corberan concluded with great respect for Robins as both a manager and a person.
Corberan marked his one-year anniversary as the West Brom manager last week, commemorating the occasion by offering heartfelt appreciation to the team working behind the scenes. He expressed his desire to build upon his successful tenure at The Hawthorns.
West Brom supporters are optimistic about Corberan’s long-term commitment, hoping he emulates the enduring tenure of Robins at Coventry. Corberan’s unwavering dedication and belief throughout his time at the club have reassured fans that he will remain for a considerable duration.
Even when a tempting opportunity arose during the summer for him to join Leeds United, Corberan’s steadfast loyalty to West Brom was evident, earning him the trust of many Albion fans.
Currently, the immediate focus is on the upcoming match against Coventry, with the goal of securing another vital three points in the Championship. Beyond that, the duration of his leadership at The Hawthorns remains uncertain.
