Albion’s manager, Carlos Corberan, expressed his gratitude to every member of the club’s staff by gifting them a generous bottle of Estrella beer and a heartfelt note. He also commended the training ground chefs for their vital role in the pursuit of success.

Corberan’s personalized letter conveyed his appreciation for their hard work and dedication, highlighting their collective effort in achieving the club’s goals.
Corberan’s decision to acknowledge his colleagues was well-received, and it continued to foster unity among everyone involved in the quest for success. With Albion having a break from action before their upcoming match against Coventry, Corberan specifically praised the kitchen team for their excellent service in catering to the needs of both staff and players.
When asked about his choice to recognize his colleagues, Corberan expressed how it can be challenging amidst the busy schedule of games to express gratitude and recognize the significance of the people working behind the scenes. He emphasized that what made him particularly proud of West Bromwich was the exceptional individuals he found there, who consistently gave their best to support and contribute to the team’s shared mission.
Corberan recognized that special people are essential for achieving success in football and that it is impossible to create something extraordinary without the dedication of these individuals. He stressed that he wasn’t only referring to his direct staff but every person contributing to the club.
During Corberan’s one-year tenure, Albion’s performance at The Hawthorns had been exceptional. They spent Fridays together before home fixtures, enjoying dinner at the training ground and then staying at a nearby hotel. Corberan praised the quality and love that went into the food prepared by the training ground chefs, emphasizing that it was of the highest quality.
He applauded all the staff members, acknowledging the love and quality they brought to the team, emphasizing the importance of working together toward a common goal.
Corberan playfully suggested that the remarkable home record might indeed be attributed to the club’s training ground cooks, underscoring the significance of the “team behind the team” in achieving success in the Championship. He stressed that the positive results were the consequence of everyone’s collective efforts, and he valued the people he worked with. Ultimately, he emphasized his desire to work with the best people to achieve their shared goals.
