LONDON (Reuters) - West Bromwich Albion manager Pepe Mel says the club will have to build a new team next season, but the Spanish coach is unsure whether he will be there to oversee the transition.

Following his relegation-threatened side’s 1-0 Premier League defeat at fourth-placed Arsenal on Sunday, Mel indicated that his managerial role at the Hawthorns remains in the balance, with talks about his job to be held after their final game next weekend.
