Derby County boss Gary Rowett is wanted by Stoke City.
The Mirror says Rowett is poised to get the Stoke job - just five months after turning it down.
Derby boss Rowett is top of Stoke's wish list and looks set to make the switch after Paul Lambert's departure following relegation.
Rowett was Stoke's first choice before appointing Lambert in January but he opted to stay at Derby and signed a new contract.
Rowett claimed at the time: “There are not many opportunities to manage in the Premier League and everyone wants to do that. But having played for Derby and lived in the area, my aim has always been to do it with this club."
