Lee Clark has been offered the chance to take over as the new boss of Kilmarnock, according to Sky Sources.
The former Birmingham and Huddersfield manager was on a shortlist of three that included Billy Davies and Mark Cooper but it is understood that, following further talks on Sunday, Clark is the club's first choice, and they have made him an offer.
Contract talks should be completed between Clark and the Scottish Premiership club on Monday, with an announcement expected in the next 24 hours.
Gary Locke resigned as Killie boss on January 31 following a 1-0 defeat at home to Hamilton, having lost 5-1 at bottom club Dundee United the week before.
The Rugby Park side sit in the relegation play-off place, two points behind Motherwell having played a game more.
Coach Lee McCulloch was in charge as Kilmarnock held Rangers to a 0-0 draw at Ibrox in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup on Saturday.
Clark's first job in management saw him spend four years at Huddersfield before he was sacked in 2012.
He suffered a similar fate at Birmingham in October 2014 before resigning as Blackpool manager in May last year after they were relegated from the Sky Bet Championship.
