Vera Pauw, a Dutch woman with extensive experience coaching on the international level, will make her club coaching debut with the Dash.
The club is expected to announce her hire by Tuesday afternoon at the latest.
Pauw, 54, last coached the South Africa women's national team from March 2014 through August 2016. She resigned following the Summer Olympics. Later that year, she was one of 10 shortlist candidates for FIFA's Best Women's Coach of 2016.
Pauw earned 89 international caps as a defender with the Netherlands. She was the first Dutch player to play professionally in Italy in 1988.
