The New York Giants are set to name offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo as their NFL head coach, according to US media reports.

NFL Network and NFL.Com reported that McAdoo would replace Tom Coughlin, who stepped down last week after winning two Super Bowls in 12 seasons.

McAdoo, who would take over a team that finished the 2015 season with a 6-10 record, has been coaching in the NFL since 2004.

The 38-year-old spent eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers before moving to New York in 2014.

The move would give the Giants and quarterback Eli Manning a measure of offensive continuity.
