England great John Barnes is in talks with the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) about becoming their new head coach, BBC Sport understands.
Jamaican-born former Liverpool winger Barnes, 44, is set to meet with JFF officials in the next few days.
Jamaica sacked their Brazilian technical director Rene Simoes last week after a disastrous start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Barnes has been out of management since being sacked by Celtic in 2000.
The JFF is expected to issue a statement on Tuesday or Wednesday confirming it is in discussions with Barnes.
Jamaica are currently last in their four-team World Cup qualifying group on one point from three games, with three games remaining.
To have a chance of advancing to the final stage of the Concacaf qualifying round, they must beat Mexico, Honduras and Canada and hope other results go their way.
