Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu will announce the appointment of new coach Ernesto Valverde today.
Barca are due to hold a board meeting, where Valverde's signing will be approved.
Sport says Bartomeu is scheduled to speak to media after the summit where he will confirm Valverde's appointment.
The former Athletic Bilbao coach's formal presentation will be held this week, either Thursday or Friday.
Barca are reluctant to rush the ceremony, with plans being put in place for "a brilliant welcome".
