Fowler, known as ‘God’ to the Anfield faithful, has been out of the game since 2012, when he retired as a player and left his role as player-manager of Muangthong United.
He spent a year in the joint role with the Thai club, and is now due to become a full-time coach for the first time as Brisbane Roar have chosen the 44-year-old as their new manager.
The Sydney Morning Herald claim Fowler will be unveiled as the Roar’s boss on Tuesday, ahead of their final match of the A-League season against Adelaide United.
Fowler will begin work at the start of the new season, with Darren Davies, Brisbane’s caretaker manager, overseeing the final game of this campaign.
