Huddersfield Town have offered former Southampton and Hull City boss Nigel Adkins their managerial vacancy.
BBC Radio Leeds understands personal terms are yet to be agreed with the 54-year-old.
Town have been without a boss since sacking Jan Siewert just four games into the season.
The Terriers, relegated from the Premier League last season, are without a win this campaign and sit second from bottom in the Championship.
Adkins has been out of the game since leaving Hull at the end of 2018-19.
His first match in charge of the club could be the Yorkshire derby at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 15 September.
