Southampton have agreed a deal with Luton's Nathan Jones to replace Ralph Hasenhuttl as the club's new manager.
Jones has agreed a long-term contract after meeting with the Premier League side on Wednesday.
Southampton are understood to be paying Luton a compensation package of around £2.5m for Jones and his assistants, Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan.
The 49-year-old will be at Southampton's Carabao Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday night before being confirmed as Saints' new manager on Thursday.
Speaking after Luton's 2-0 defeat at Stoke - his former club - on Tuesday, Jones admitted Southampton were a "wonderful Premier League club".
He added: "It's not the first opportunity I've had to speak to people but I haven't wanted to. This is slightly different because of the situation and the club that it is. It will take something really special to take me away from here."
