Carlisle United are closing in on the dynamic duo who will lead the club out of the doldrums near the foot of League Two.
United have decided to go with a new approach, employing a sporting director to work alongside a head coach and after some diligent work they are near to an announcement.
Owner Tom Piatak told CUTV: “We’ve been working on this now for two weeks and it’s been a very thorough and deliberate process.
“I would say the amount of candidates that have applied for both the sporting director and the head coach position has been amazing. I mean, almost overwhelming, but we wanted to take our time, and complete a very thorough, deliberate process.
“We’ve done that. We finalised the interviews over the weekend and we’re very close to making an announcement. We’re very confident that we found the right individuals and they’re going to be moving forward with us.
“I’ve been thoroughly impressed. It was a tough process because of the calibre of applicants.
“That tells me we’re doing something right as a club. I know we haven’t had the results yet, but that’s why we’re looking to make this change and bring these two individuals in.
“I’m confident that once they’re in and they instil their style of play and how they want to coach, we’ll start to see the results.”
