Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town are close to agreeing a deal for Lincoln City boss Danny Cowley to become their new manager.
It is understood that compensation has been agreed for the 40-year-old.
He will succeed Jan Siewert, who was sacked on 16 August after three winless league games and a Carabao Cup first-round defeat by Cowley's Lincoln.
Cowley guided the Imps to promotions from the National League and League Two in his three full seasons in charge.
He led Lincoln to an FA Cup quarter-final while they were a non-league club, with victories over Championship sides Ipswich and Brighton and Premier League Burnley en route to the last eight.
Cowley, who will again be assisted by his brother Nicky, also led the club to success in the Checkatrade Trophy in 2018, beating Shrewsbury in the club's first ever appearance in a Wembley final.
Huddersfield were relegated from the Premier League last season with just 16 points and are 23rd in the Championship after failing to win any of their first six matches.
If a deal is agreed, Cowley's first game in charge will be Sunday's Yorkshire derby at home to Sheffield Wednesday.

WOW - thanks for the news flash Oldstripy!!
I was wondering when the Cowleys would leave Lincoln.
Their success story has been nothing short of miraculous. Managers of part-time club Braintree Town, they completely turned dismal Lincoln's fortunes around.
I am absolutely sure that without them they would still be mired in the National League, struggling to get 3,00 gates, instead of filling the stadium every home game. Whoever Lincoln appoint it's going to be a really tough act to follow...

Nolan to rejoin his mate O'Connor? Not too far to travel for him and they already time waste and play direct football...

Might be risky as that air raid siren nonsense could sound like last orders

I think we can learn an awful lot from Lincoln in how they eventually went about getting out of non league and how they’ve been so successful since.

What a crushing blow for Lincoln. I wouldn't have betted against them getting to the Championship this season or next, but not now. Unless they pull another rabbit out of the hat with the next appointment, then the effect on them could be similar to when Allardyce left us.

Yep my thoughts exactly. Wonder what the odds are on Nolan as new Lincoln manager?
HOOOOOF...

Dead right their Gumpy.
However for every Danny Cowley there are plenty of hopeless non-league managers, (cue Neil Ardley ha-ha-ha). You only have to ask ask Lincoln fans, they employed a fair few no-hopers before they guessed right with Cowley...
