Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler is the new manager of Brisbane Roar.
The former Reds striker has flown to Australia and his appointment is expected to be officially confirmed on Tuesday.
The 44-year-old jumped at the chance to revive the fortunes of the struggling A-League club, who currently sit ninth in the table.
Roar have been without a head coach since parting company with John Aloisi four months ago.
Jamie Carragher predicts when Liverpool and Man City's Premier League battle will be decided
Caretaker boss Darren Davies will remain in charge for their final game of the A-League campaign at home to Adelaide United on Thursday.
Fowler will attend that match at Suncorp Stadium before taking control as the focus turns to planning for next season.
Barring a short spell in charge of Thai outfit Muangthong United in Thailand in 2011/12, this will be Fowler's first managerial role.
The man nicknamed 'God' by the Kop has been waiting patiently for an opportunity to prove himself as a coach having completed his UEFA licences.
In recent years he has worked as an ambassador for Liverpool FC and launched the successful Robbie Fowler Education & Football Academy which has helped hundreds of Merseyside youngsters fulfil their dreams.
Fowler, who scored 183 goals in 369 games for Liverpool, knows the A-League well having had spells with both North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory towards the end of his playing career.
