Former Bristol City first-team coach Keith Downing is reportedly set to join the new regime at Birmingham City, according to reports.
City's Championship rivals appointed former midfielder John Eustace on a three-year deal on Sunday to become their new manager following Lee Bowyer's sacking just 24 hours earlier.
Downing is out of work having recently left a similar role at Plymouth at end of the season after just five months at Home Park. The 56-year-old, who is based in the Midlands, put the decision to leave the League One side down the the "tough geographical location" of being away from his family and therefore a move to Birmingham to work alongside Eustace would suit both parties.
