Dublin manager Jim Gavin is set to be given the Freedom of the City.
County councillors will gather for a meeting and are expected to vote unanimously in favour of honouring the 48-year-old.
A clean sweep of votes in his favour would see Gavin offered the honour before a special meeting of the council is organised for a presentation.
The move is being proposed by Lord Mayor Paul McAuliffe.
The Freedom of the City law dates back to 1454 and amongst other rights, would allow Gavin to graze sheep on St. Stephen's Green and College Green.
The Clondalkin man, who works for the Irish Aviation Authority, is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers in football history.
He took over the Dubs in 2012 and earlier this month guided the county to a historic fifth successive All-Ireland title - making him the capital's most successful ever manager.
Gavin joins the likes U2 frontman Bono and Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof in being awarded the freedom of Dublin.
Although Geldof handed his award in protest over Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi also being recipient of the award.
Former Dublin boss Kevin Heffern was also given the honour in 2004.
