Stale Solbakken is to be named the new manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, according to widespread reports.
Wolves have been without a permanent boss since they sacked Mick McCarthy in February, replacing the coach with his assistant Terry Connor on an interim basis.
Connor was unable to save the club from relegation, and, ahead of the final match of the 2011-12 Premier League campaign, he is winless in charge of the Midlands club.
Former Norway international Solbakken, 44, is now expected to be unveiled as Wolves' new boss as they plan for next season in the Cha mpionship.
Solbakken, who made six league appearances for Wimbledon in the 1990s, parted company with Bundesliga side Cologne last month following a poor run of form.
He made his name as head coach of FC Copenhagen where he won five league titles and will becomes Wolves' first foreign manager.
Solbakken's playing career came to an end when he suffered a cardiac arrest in 2001 during a training session with FC Copenhagen, when Roy Hodgson was in charge.
