Experienced former Bristol Rovers coach Shaun North is set to be named as Mark Yates' new number two at Cheltenham Town.
The Echo understands Ian Foster and Russell Milton were also interviewed for the role, but North has been chosen to become the Robins' new first team coach.
They have been looking for a new man since the departure of Yates' long-serving assistant Neil Howarth.
Gosport-based North was appointed as AFC Wimbledon's Under-21 development coach last summer.
He had previously been assistant first team manager at Rovers, where he served under Paul Buckle, Mark McGhee and John Ward, having also worked under Buckle at Torquay United.
