Huddersfield Town expect to confirm Hertha Berlin coach Mark Fotheringham as their new manager.
The 38-year old former Celtic, Norwich City and Fulham midfielder has been working as assistant to Hertha boss Felix Magath since March.
But now he is ready to take charge of Championship side Huddersfield, who are set to announce the deal within the next 24 hours.
Huddersfield had also considered a return for David Wagner who is available after leaving Young Boys Bern and Bournemouth interim Gary O’Neil.
Last season's playoff finallists, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League after suffering a 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest at Wembley in May, endured a tumultuous start to the new campaign.
