Mark Hudson is set to add former midfielder Dean Whitehead to his backroom staff at Cardiff City.
The interim manager had hoped to bring in another coach following the departure of Steve Morison, which had left his staff a person light for the last month.
Hudson said earlier this week that he had hoped to wrap up the deal to get a coach in before the end of the week and, following the 2-1 defeat by Watford, revealed Whitehead had been in attendance at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night.
