ChampionshipDerby County boss Gary Rowett is set to sign a new deal with the Rams following speculation linking him to the managerial vacancy at Premier League side Stoke, reports BBC Radio Derby.
The 43 year old is listed high up in the betting by bookmakers in the wake of Mark Hughes' Stoke sacking on Saturday.
But Derby's immediate response is to extend his stay with the club well beyond the end of his current contract.
