Alex McLeish is thought to be favourite for the jobScotland's new national coach will be revealed at a Monday media conference.
The position has been vacant since Walter Smith resigned on 10 January and Alex McLeish, the former Rangers manager, is expected to be appointed.
McLeish, who turned 48 on Sunday, has already been interviewed by the Scottish Football Association.
And it is thought that Andy Watson, who was his assistant at Motherwell, Hibernian and Ibrox, will join him as part of the new set-up.
Gary McAllister or Roy Aitken could also be part of the new regime.
Aitken, the former Aston Villa assistant manager, has been out of football since David O'Leary was axed by the Premiership club.
Former Coventry manager McAllister has voiced his desire to return to football after time out of the game following the death of his wife.
He was on the SFA's shortlist to succeed Walter Smith as Scotland manager along with Smith's assistant, Tommy Burns.
But McLeish was an early favourite for the job and appears likely to end an eight-month spell out of football management.
Walter has laid a good foundation

BBC Sport understands that he would like McAllister or Aitken to join his management team.
McLeish admitted that he has already had talks with the SFA.
"I've thrown my hat in the ring and I am sure we will hear soon one way or another," he said.
"I have spoken to the SFA and I'm sure they will be speaking to other candidates.
"Of course it would be fantastic, just the same as it would be for anyone managing their country of origin."
McLeish believes that, if he takes over, he will be inheriting a side in good shape in the European Championship qualification campaign.
"Walter Smith did a fantastic job," he said. "He has moved on and we should applaud what he has done.
"If he was sought after, it's because the international team were doing well.
"We should not be paranoid about losing our manager.
"There are many good coaches around and, if it's not Walter, and I don't get the job, I'm sure whoever gets it will do well.
"But it's still a very difficult task as we should not underestimate the fact that we have both Italy and France away and also Italy at home.
"I'm sure people will still expect France and Italy to top our group, but Walter has laid a good foundation there."
There were a number of other candidates, but the SFA appeared to prefer avoiding compensation for a manager presently in a job.
Former Scotland international Richard Gough said he believed McLeish faced a difficult challenge if he took the Scotland job.
"There's a bit of credibility back and Scotland have been climbing up the Fifa rankings," said Gough.
"But Alex is now faced with a mighty hard job in trying to qualify for the 2008 European Championships."
