Mick McCarthy is set to replace Neil Harris as manager of Cardiff City.
McCarthy was sacked as manager of Cypriot side APOEL at the start of January after just two months in the job but the 61-year old has vast experience in the Championship having previously won promotion with Sunderland and Wolves.
Cardiff have lost seven out of their last eight games in all competitions and face a tough task to push themselves back into the promotion chase as they languish in 15th place in the Championship table.
Harris was sacked after their defeat by QPR on Wednesday despite Cardiff signing striker Max Watters and full-back Perry Ng at the start of the week.
