Paul Lambert has agreed to become the new Blackburn boss, talkSPORT understands.
Lambert will succeed Gary Bowyer, who was axed by the Championship club on Tuesday.
Rovers chiefs moved quickly to secure the Scot's signature as they feared losing out to Fulham, who are also on the hunt for a new boss after the departure of Kit Symons.
Lambert sees rebuilding Rovers as the ideal challenge as he looks to restore his reputation following a difficult three-year spell at Aston Villa.
The 46-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Villa in February, takes over a side sitting 16th in the Championship, having won just three of their 16 games this season.
Lambert led Norwich to promotion from the Championship in 2011 and the Venky family, Blackburn's owners, view his appointment as a major coup.
