lbion beat Bruce on Monday with the club finishing 22nd in the Championship – their lowest position in 20 years.

Rowett, 48, appeals to the Baggies because he can work on a budget in the Championship.

SunSport understand Millwall has yet to receive an official request from The Hawthorns.

The former Birmingham boss has guided the Lions to three first-half finishes.

His side currently sit 15th in the second tier with 17 points from 13 games this season.

That puts them six points clear of relegation-threatened West Brom.

Former Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan is also a candidate for the Baggies appearance.

The 39-year-old Spaniard left the Terriers at the end of last season after guiding them to the play-off final.

Millwall lost Jed Wallace to West Brom this summer.

Rowett would therefore be reunited with his former star should he accept the West Midlands post.
