Heart of Midlothian have appointed Neil Critchley as their head coach.
The 45-year-old has arrived in Edinburgh and succeeds Steven Naismith, who was sacked last month after a winless start to the Scottish Premiership season and a run of eight consecutive defeats.
A media conference is expected to take place on Tuesday.
The Englishman managed Blackpool between 2020 and 2022 then returned to the Lancashire club in 2023 after a three-month spell in charge of Queens Park Rangers.
Critchley, who took the Seasiders up to the Championship in England via the play-offs in 2021, has won 77 and drawn 47 of his 185 games as a manager.
He coached Liverpool at under-age level and was Steven Gerrard’s assistant at Aston Villa for a short spell in 2022.
B team boss Liam Fox oversaw the draw with Ross County in the Premiership, the Conference League win against Dinamo Minsk and the defeat by Aberdeen following Naismith’s exit.
Hearts are bottom of the Premiership with two points from eight fixtures and had been in discussions with former Norway boss Per-Mathias Hogmo before talks broke down.
