Former Celtic, West Brom and Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has agreed a deal to become the new manager of League One side Coventry City, according to the Coventry Telegraph.
While the news has not been officially confirmed as of yet, terms have been verbally agreed between the two parties and the 51-year-old is set to travel to Coventry tomorrow to sign a contract.
Mowbray, who has been out of work since being sacked as manager of hometown club Middlesbrough in October 2013, has been in talks with the Sky Blues throughout Monday.
However, with Neil MacFarlane and Dave Hockaday in charge of the club since former manager Steven Pressley left the club last week, Mowbray is likely to take a seat in the stands for Tuesday night's clash with Barnsley.
He was allegedly the first person interviewed for the job and, instead of applying for the post, was approached by chief executive Steve Waggott.
However, he is likely to have a job on his hands with Coventry just one place and one point above the League One relegation zone.
Mowbray has also had managerial stints at Ipswich Town and Hibernian, as well as making three appearances for England B in the late 1980s. Across an 18-year playing career, the former defender made more than 350 appearances for Middlesbrough before moving on to spend the final decade of his career at Celtic and Ipswich.
At one point in his most recent managerial job, he had Boro competing near the top of the Championship on a shoestring budget, but left the club under a cloud and threatened by relegation.
As a manager, his only major honour has been winning the Championship in 2007/08 with West Brom. He won the League Managers Association Manager of the Year in the same year, as well as the Scottish Football Writers' Association Manager of the Year in 2004/05.
