Erik ten Hag is on the brink of agreeing a deal to replace Xabi Alonso as manager of Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
Ten Hag has been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in October.
The Dutchman has received a number of offers but opted to stay out of the game until this summer.
Earlier this month sources close to Ten Hag told BBC Sport the former Ajax boss was preparing to return at the beginning of July and was willing to assess any suitable offer.
Alonso, who is expected to replace the outgoing Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid manager, has quit Leverkusen after leading the club to their first Bundesliga title in 2024 in an unbeaten league campaign.
Leverkusen also completed a domestic double last season, beating Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final.
Although the club has not been able to maintain the same high standards this season, they still managed to finish second to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Ten Hag has experience of German football after spending two years in charge of Bayern Munich's second team from 2013.
The 55-year-old won the FA Cup and League Cup in his two full seasons as United boss, finishing third in the Premier League in 2022-23.
However, although United kept faith with him after extended deliberation in the wake of last season's surprise FA Cup final victory against Manchester City, he was sacked on 28 October following a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
