Mr Farke was relieved of his duty last Saturday and an announcement of the new head is expected to be made between Sunday or Monday according to BBC sports. 

Former Chelsea boss, Frank Lampard, had withdrawn his interest in the position.

Mr Smith, who formerly led Aston Villa, is expected to resume with his assistant, Craig Shakespeare.
