Warren Gatland would welcome a return to international rugby
Warren Gatland is hopeful he can agree a deal with the Welsh Rugby Union to become the new Wales coach by the end of the week.
The New Zealander, 44, is the front runner for the job after holding talks with the WRU in Cardiff last weekend.
He said: "We are looking at the final minor points now such as work permits etc. If both sides are happy, then we can get it done."
Gatland was on a shortlist of three foreign coaches approached by the WRU.
Wales have been without a coach since sacking Gareth Jenkins the day after they were knocked out of World Cup by Fiji just over a month ago.
Former Ireland and Wasps coach Gatland met WRU officials in New Zealand last month at the start of the union's global search for a new coach and arrived in Cardiff at the weekend.
