Barnsley are on the brink of announcing Valerien Ismael as their new manager after the former Crystal Palace defender signed a three-year contract with the club.
The Frenchman coached LASK in Austria last season, guiding them through the Europa League group stage to a tie against Manchester United and topping their domestic league for a large part of the season only to fall away at the last and finish fourth. They were docked four points for breaching lockdown regulations.
Ismael, now 45, played for Palace briefly in 1998 after becoming the club's record signing when he joined from Strasbourg for £2.
