Paulo Fonseca is set to be named Newcastle United manager.
The former Roma manager, 48, is itching for a Premier League move after narrowly missing out on the Tottenham job in the summer.
Newcastle are on the hunt for a new boss after sacking Steve Bruce earlier this week.
According to the Mirror, the path has now cleared for Fonseca to land the position.
They claim that the Portuguese is a favourite of Amanda Staveley, who is poised to offer him a £6m-a-year contract at St James' Park.
Fonseca is said to have impressed Newcastle chiefs with his short-term and long-term visions for how the Toon will play.
And he is ready to leave his family home in Rome to base himself in the North East of England.
