Paidi Ó'Sé is expected to be officially confirmed as Westmeath's new manager after a specially convened meeting of the county board tomorrow.
O Se, who resigned as Kerry manager after eight years in charge last week, has been hotly tipped to succeed Luke Dempsey.
On radio reports this morning, a Westmeath official claimed the An Gaeltacht clubman would be the only name submitted for the job.
The meeting will take place in Cusack Park, in Mullingar, tomorrow. The appointment therefore looks certain to be announced before Friday night, despite reports suggesting that Ó'Sé will confirm it on the Dunphy Show.
