The 59-year-old former Ireland boss will leave his post at Ipswich Town after six years when his current contract expires at the end of the season, it was announced last week.
While assistant John Carver also departed the West Midlands club, Darren Moore will take charge of first-team responsibilities for the remaining six matches.
McCarthy has proved himself as a solid manager in the Championship over several years, but his past in charge of Black Country rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers may not sit well with some West Brom fans.
He is 5/2 favourite ahead of Leciester City assistant Michael Appleton and, when asked about the speculation, McCarthy replied:
The Albion?” The Birmingham Mail report him as saying. “That would piss a few people off wouldn’t it? But you know me, I like pissing people off.”
