Adrian Heath, who watched City's game versus Preston, is now rumoured to be the next manager of Leicester City.
Peter Reid is expected to be the Director Of Football with Alan Cork as reserve team boss with the appointment to be made on Monday.
The move comes after Milan Mandaric was thwarted in attempts to lure Iain Dowie and Paul Sturrock to the Crisp Bowl.
Heath who was seen as part of City's problems, not the solution, had two spells as caretaker manager during his time at Highfield Road and The Arena.
With the club unable to pay him,he had to be kept on by Micky Adams and stayed until February this year when Iain Dowie was appointed. Ironically, his last game in charge of City was a 3-0 defeat at Leicester City.
