Triple Brisbane premiership defender Justin Leppitsch will become the coach of the Lions, a decision that will be confirmed shortly at a hastily convened club board meeting.
The 227-game triple All-Australian is understood to have confirmed to Richmond his decision to move back to his old club before Brisbane president Angus Johnson ratified the decision with fellow directors.
Leppitsch will take on the senior job solo and won the role ahead of Sydney assistant Leigh Tudor.

He has worked at the Tigers as defensive coach since late 2009, having previously coached as an assistant at the Lions under Leigh Matthews and, briefly, sacked coach Michael Voss.
Johnson's future remained unclear after mediation talks at AFL headquarters early on Tuesday.
