Steve McClaren is expected to be appointed as Derby County head coach on Wednesday just 17 months after he was sacked, BBC Radio Derby reports.
Nigel Pearson left his role as boss by mutual consent on Saturday after less than five months, and McClaren, 55, has been in talks with the Rams.
Chris Powell, who has been in temporary charge, is expected to return to his role as assistant manager.
Ex-England boss McClaren left Derby in acrimonious circumstances in May 2015.
Following constant speculation linking him with the job at Newcastle, McClaren subsequently joined the Magpies but was sacked in March 2016.
Pearson, who replaced Paul Clement as boss, was originally suspended by the Championship side pending a club investigation into his "behaviour" following a heated exchange with owner Mel Morris.
McClaren won just six of 28 Premier League games in charge of Newcastle, who were just one place off the foot of the table when he departed and they were eventually relegated.
He only spent two seasons with the Rams, leading them to Championship play-off final defeat by QPR in 2013-2014.
