Leeds United are set to appoint John Carver as the club's new head coach after the departure of Steve Agnew to League One side Hartlepool.
Carver has spent much of his career at Newcastle United where he was assistant to Sir Bobby Robson.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge," Carver told BBC Radio Leeds.
"The first person I spoke to was my brother-in-law, Peter Haddock who was in the Championship winning side and he said if you get a choice go to Leeds."
"Newcastle is a great club with passionate supporters but Leeds United is on the same level."
