Leeds United are set to name former Republic of Ireland coach Steve Staunton as assistant manager to new boss Gary McAllister.
Staunton will meet the Leeds squad at Thorp Arch today with a view to being confirmed as McAllister's number two at Elland Road.
Staunton, who won 102 international caps for the Republic, will team up with McAllister after the pair worked together at Coventry.
The former Liverpool, Aston Villa and Coventry full-back joined the Sky Blues as a player when McAllister was manager in August 2003.
Staunton was appointed successor to Brian Kerr in January 2006, but was sacked the following October after an unsuccessful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
McAllister himself was only appointed last week after the departure of Dennis Wise to Newcastle United. Wise's former assistant Gus Poyet also left the club to join up with new Spurs boss Juande Ramos.
Staunton has previously worked as assistant to Paul Merson at Walsall after a brief spell as captain of the club.
The FAI are stil searching for Staunton's replacement over 100 days after the Louthman had his contract cut short with the national side.
