Three-times Wimbledon winner Boris Becker is poised to be named the new head of men's tennis at the German tennis federation, sources close to the announcement told dpa.
The German tennis federation has announced a press conference with Becker for Wednesday.
"I think he can achieve a lot," former federation president Georg von Waldenfels told dpa on Tuesday.
The 49-year-old Becker worked as Novak Djokovic's coach for three years until parting ways in December.
Becker, who in June denied via his lawyer that he was bankrupt, will be superior to German Davis Cup captain Michael Kohlmann, media reports say.
