Steve McClaren is back in management with Dutch Champions' League outfit FC Twente.
The sacked England boss is set to announce he will take over in Holland in July on two year deal.
McClaren, whose England side failed to qualify for Euro 2008, missed out on the Blackburn job this week, but had the FC Twente job offer on the table which he has accepted.
He takes over from Fred Rutten who has moved to Schalke.
McClaren said this morning: "I am delighted to accept this offer and I can't wait to take over. It is exciting times at the club and I can't wait to get going.
"It will be a huge challenge to compete in the Champions' League with Twente for the first time in their history.
"We will do everything to take the club forward. Sir Bobby Robson told me what a challenge it is managing in Holland and what a friendly club FC Twente is, and what a great set of fans they have.
"I am delighted to be back doing a job I love."
