Tom Cleverley is set to be named as the Plymouth Argyle manager, talkSPORT understands.
Former Watford boss Cleverley beat off competition from candidates including fellow ex-England midfielder Jack Wilshere.
The 35-year-old will replace Miron Muslic, who has left the club to join Schalke 04 in Germany.
Muslic replaced Wayne Rooney at the beginning of the year but was unable to guide them to Championship safety as they finished 23rd.
Cleverley will therefore join a side gearing up for League One football in the 2025/26 campaign.
The former Manchester United star was sacked by Watford just days after the end of the season.

Liverpool are closing in on the appointment of Giovanni van Bronckhorst as an assistant manager, talkSPORT understands.
The former Netherlands international is poised to replace John Heitinga, who departed Anfield to become the head coach at Ajax.
Van Bronckhorst’s most recent role was with Turkish club Besiktas, but he was sacked after just 20 games at the helm.
Prior to his Turkish adventure, the 50-year-old was in charge at Scottish giants Rangers.
During his stint at Ibrox, the Dutchman led Rangers to a Europa League final in 2022 but fell agonisingly short with a penalty shootout defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Rob Edwards is on the final shortlist for both Middlesbrough and Bristol City, talkSPORT understands.
Former Barnsley boss Gerhard Struber is also among City's candidates.
Edwards has been out of work since leaving Luton Town by mutual consent in January, as the club veered towards successive relegations.
The former Watford boss took over Luton in November 2022, where he guided them to an unlikely promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
It was the first time that the Hatters were back playing first-division football since 1992.
Having failed to avoid relegation, Luton then managed just seven wins from their first 26 games back in the Championship.
At the time of Edwards' departure, the club were two points above the drop zone - and they ultimately dropped into League One.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been forced to change from his iconic No.66 following his move to Real Madrid.
It has become an iconic Liverpool strip over the years, with Alexander-Arnold starring while winning two Premier League titles and a Champions League wearing the digits.
He has worn multiple different numbers on the back of his kit for England, including 2, 7, 8 and 10.
But it's still going to be tough for him to switch from 66 - and he has no choice when he begins to play in LaLiga.
LaLiga rules state that all players must wear a number between 1-25.
And so Trent selected the No.12 strip at Madrid.

Liverpool great Andy Robertson has admitted he's unsure about his future at the club.
The left-back has won everything on offer at Anfield but is coming off a poor season despite the Premier League title.
talkSPORT understands that the Reds are closing in on a £40million deal for Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, and Robertson isn't sure what will happen next.
"We have discussed it, of course we have," the Scotland captain said of his contract.
I never have done that so I am not going to start doing that now.
"I know the position I am in and I have only got a year left and a lot is getting spoken about and getting said but my full focus is on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids.
"Then I will try to come back in the best possible shape for pre-season and then we'll see what the future holds when these decisions come."

Liverpool's Luis Diaz has explained his shock confrontation with Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni.
The Reds' Premier League winner was in stunning form against the world champions, netting a wonder goal for Colombia, dribbling through the opposition defence.
However, after Thiago Almada equalised he was fuming with the referee as a teammate was on the deck.
Scaloni called him over to the touchline, and then grabbed him by the arm for what looked like a heated debate.
However, Diaz has said: "Scaloni saw I was very angry about the play that led to the goal, where a teammate was lying on the ground and the referee didn't blow his whistle.
It was all very respectful.”

Jude Bellingham has the support of Simon Jordan and Rio Ferdinand after Thomas Tuchel said his mother finds some of the player's behaviour 'repulsive'.
The England manager made the comments in an hour long interview when speaking about channelling Bellingham's passion in the right way.
Speaking in his second language, Tuchel's 'repulsive' comment was picked up by the world media without the necessary context.
But Ferdinand thinks his attitude is important either way.
"You want characters like that, if England went into a game without characters that are willing to pull people up and demand off others we won't win anything," the Manchester United legend said.
"Jude Bellingham has shown he can go to different teams, countries and environments and be successful, he's someone you want.
"We currently have other priorities, and so the matter of Jadon Sancho is perhaps being played up more in the media than it has been discussed internally."

Manchester United have announced the signing of Matheus Cunha.
Although the fee has not been disclosed by the club, talkSPORT understands the Red Devils have paid £62.5million to land the Brazilian ace from Wolves.
The 26-year-old forward has penned a five-year contract at Old Trafford, which runs until June 2030, with the option for an additional year.
Upon his official unveiling as a Manchester United player, Cunha said it's a dream come true to join a club he watched on TV as a boy in Brazil.
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," he said.
"Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt.
"At the same time, the daily working environment here is both professional and family-orientated; it’s simply a pleasure to be out on the pitch with these players and staff.”

Tom Cleverley is set to be named Plymouth manager, talkSPORT understands.
Former Watford boss Cleverley beat off competition from candidates including fellow ex-England midfielder Jack Wilshere.
The south coast side were relegated from the Championship to League One at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Manager Miron Muslic was snapped up by German side Schalke having taken over after a disastrous stint with Wayne Rooney in charge.
Cleverley was sacked by Watford after a 14th place finish in the second tier but club legend and talkSPORT host Troy Deeney defended him.
He said: “You had a good manager in Tom Cleverly, he handled himself with a level of grace and decorum that he deserves, because he’s a top bloke, and hopefully that will stand him in good stead to go and get another job.
“But for right now, you can’t tell me that team’s good enough to get promoted, it’s just not.”
