Hull City are looking to appoint Kayserispor boss Sergej Jakirovic.
BBC Radio Humberside understands that the 48-year-old Bosnian and his coaching staff are hoping to get their visas next Wednesday.
The Tigers sacked boss Ruben Selles earlier this month after they avoided relegation to League One on goal difference.
Jakirovic has managed in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and was appointed as head coach of Turkish Super Lig side Kayserispor in January.
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali said last week that the club had five candidates and that they hoped to have a new head coach in place in 10 days time.
