It's been more than a decade, the legendary former Manchester United midfielder has been absent from the coaching world, it looks like this time he will return to the gridiron as head coach at The Hawthorns Stadium, West Bromwich Albion's home base.
After eight games without a win this season, West Brom's management decided to dismiss Steve Bruce as head coach of The Baggies.
Steve Bruce was signed to replace Valerien Ismael as coach in February. In the hands of Bruce, West Brom is considered a team that has no achievements and only finished in tenth position last season.
West Brom have only 1 win from 13 matches they run, for now West Brom are ranked 22nd in the English championship with 11 points.
Steve Bruce's sacking is imminent once administration is complete, and West Brom are targeting another Manchester United legend.
Roy Keane is one of the most potential candidates for the position of West Brom main coach. Last week, the former Ireland midfielder was also seen in the stands as West Brom lost 1-0 to Preston.
This was considered a rather unexpected move, as Keane had long since stopped working as a coach and only served as an analyst on the television station Sky Sports.
More specifically, since January 2011, Keane has never led any team to date. It was then that he received a dismissal from the Ipswich Town Board of Directors after a poor tenure at the club.
So have West Brom thought carefully about using Roy Kane's services as head coach? Given that he also has not had any achievements in terms of coaching, even though he is an analyst, he is not necessarily proficient in leading a club that is currently on the brink of relegation to the 3rd division.
And this is a very difficult task for a Roy Keane who has not been in coaching for almost ten years.
However, the selection of Roy Keane as coach of West Brom must have thought carefully. They believe that Roy Keane can give a new color to the football team called The Baggies.
It may be very difficult to boost West Brom's current performance given the team's position on the brink of relegation. The club's hope for Roy Keane is to be able to bring the team out of the death zone, and hope to enter and finish in 4th position in the standings.
It looks like Roy Keane will bring Ferguson's style of play at Manchester United, or will instead follow the strategy he built himself.
