Southampton are close to announcing the appointment of Swansea City head coach Russell Martin as their new boss.
Saints have turned to Martin as they rebuild following Premier League relegation, with the 37-year-old set to replace the departing Ruben Selles.
They have confirmed the Spaniard's contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of the season.
Former Scotland defender Martin will be joined at Southampton by some members of his Swansea backroom team.
Southampton will pay compensation for Martin and his staff, whose Swansea contracts run until 2024.
Martin had been due to travel to the USA last week for talks about his future with Swansea's American ownership group, but the trip was called off.
