Treble-winning Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca is set to be appointed Leicester City manager after agreeing terms with the Foxes.
The 43-year-old Italian could be named the new boss as early as Friday, report BBC Radio Leicester.
If so, it would come six days after City's Champions League success.
He would replace interim boss Dean Smith, who oversaw just two wins from eight games in a failed attempt to keep the Foxes in the Premier League.
Smith took the job in April following Brendan Rodgers' dismissal after four years in charge.
Maresca's move to the King Power Stadium would bring an end to a hugely successful year as part of Pep Guardiola's backroom team in what was his second stint as a coach at City, having previously worked as their Under-23s boss.
He had an unsuccessful 180-day spell as Parma boss in 2021, overseeing just four wins from 13 games after they were relegated from Serie A.
