Former Barcelona midfielder Garcia guided Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Israel title last season before quitting for personal reasons.
Maccabi have reported that their head fitness coach Juan Torrijo Navaro and assistant coach Ruben Martinez are leaving to join forces with Garcia again in his next job.
Maccabi's sports director, Jordi Cruyff, said: "We fully understand their desire to continue their partnership with Oscar Garcia."
Garcia has been the hot favourite with bookmakers for weeks to become Albion manager.
Chairman Tony Bloom said on Monday he hoped to have an interim manager in place by Thursday following Poyet's sacking for alleged breaches of contract.
Poyet's appeal against the decision is expected to last three weeks.
