According to reports in the UK, Kewell, 38, is the hot favourite to replace the sacked Dermot Drummy and he is expected to be unveiled as early as next week.
It would signal Kewell's first senior managerial position, after leaving his role as Watford Under-23 coach last month, due to a string of poor results.
Kewell leaves role as Watford Under-23 coach
Socceroos icon Harry Kewell has announced he has left his role as Watford Under-23 coach, due to a recent poor run of results.
Kewell, who played for the Socceroos at the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups, said in December that his ultimate goal was to become manager of his former club Liverpool.
"My ultimate goal is Liverpool ... You don't know unless you get thrown in there. I'm a big believer in sink or swim," Kewell said.
Kewell sets coaching sights on Liverpool
Harry Kewell has revealed his coaching ambition is to be at Liverpool, but the Socceroos legend has given little away about how he might get there.
Kewell was also recently linked to the Newcastle Jets job, which was eventually filled by Ernie Merrick.
Crawley Town finished 19th on the 24-team League Two ladder in 2016-17 - just five points clear of the relegation zone and only winning one of their last 14 games.
Meanwhile, the news of Kewell's imminent arrival hasn't gone down well with some supporters, who took to Twitter to vent their discontent.
@TurpinAllan @PhilHayYEP I'm a Leeds fan who lives in Crawley, so this is not welcome news.

@TurpinAllan @PhilHayYEP Scumbag! Hope he gets sacked from there too.

+xWtf is wrong with thoose fansWhy are thoose salty just cause Kewell signed for Crawley? Those fans are Leeds fans not Crawley Town fans. They are upset that Kewell played for Galatsaray. Galatsaray supporters were responsible for the deaths of two Leeds supporters in 2000. Crawley Town supporters reactions are mixed. Some of them are happy that the Leeds supporters are pissed.
Requiescat in pace!

Kewell for CrawleyTue 23 May 2017 Author: CTFC Crawley Town are delighted to announce the appointment of Harry Kewell as our new Head Coach. Harry, 38, will be assisted by Warren Feeney, who is taking up the role as Assistant Coach. During a glittering playing career in England and abroad, Sydney-born Harry played in two Champions League finals for Liverpool and two World Cup finals for Australia. He came to England in 1995 and within a year was making his first-team debut for Leeds United in the Premier League. In 2000, Kewell was named PFA Young Player of the Year and he had three more seasons at Elland Road before joining Liverpool, the team he supported as a boy, in 2003. Two years later he became the first Australian to play in the Champions League final and in 2006 he was an FA Cup winner with Liverpool. In 2007, he played in his second Champions League final and when he left Anfield in 2008 Harry had played 380 League and Cup games in England, scoring 79 goals. He signed for Turkish club Galatasaray in 2008 and had three seasons with them, scoring 34 goals in 91 appearances. In August 2011, he signed for Melbourne Victory and also played for Melbourne Heat in the Australian League, either side of a short spell in the Qatar Stars League with Al Gharafa. Harry became Australia’s youngest international when he made his debut aged 17 against Chile in 1996. He played in the 2006 and 2010 World Cup finals, helping the Socceroos reach the second round in 2006 after scoring in a 2-2 draw against Croatia. He was sent off in the 2010 finals in South Africa against Ghana. He played 56 times for his country, scoring 17 goals. When he announced his retirement in June 2014 Harry had played 515 professional games and scored 124 goals as either a winger or striker. He is currently working on his UEFA Pro License coaching qualification and was in charge of the under-23s at Watford from June 2015 before leaving the club by mutual consent earlier this year. During his time at Vicarage Road, three of the under-23s made their first team debuts. Director of Football Selim Gaygusuz said: "During his interview Harry showed us great passion - that's need to make this team move onwards." The new Head Coach will be holding a press conference on Friday at 7pm to meet local and national media. Interested media are asked to email alexstedman@crawleytownfc.com by no later than 4pm on Thursday afternoon to request attendance - fans will be able to watch exclusively live on our Facebook page here. We'll also have full coverage and reaction from Kewell's meeting with the press here on www.crawleytownfc.com and across our other social channels.

Good luck to Harry. Hopefully he can use some connections to sign some Aussie players on loan. There's plenty of young Australians in England who could probably make a move to League Two to get a taste of senior football and really gauge where they're at, so it'd be nice to see that happen.

No player who ends up going to a rival will be liked. Made even worse considering he was a player for Leeds at the time of the incident.

Ok fair enough. Not being ignorant
Just a shame that the actions of a few make the whole of Galatasary responsible. Pretty stupid

Hope they have a decent pitch.
Some of the British pitches get too muddy to play football in mid winter.
The new underground heated ones are much better.

There has been a lot of poor publicity for Harry during his career, most of it ill-informed. Hope he does well. He hasn't been afraid of hard work and should make a decent fist of it.

MARCH 30, 1996: LEEDS 0-1 MIDDLESBROUGH When I played, I thought: ‘Oh my God, I want some more of this This was my debut, at 17. I was called into a meeting with great players like Gary Speed and Gary McAllister, then learned I was in the team and everyone congratulated me. Moments like that are priceless. When I played, I thought: ‘Oh my God, I want some more of this.’ NOVEMBER 16, 2005: AUSTRALIA 1-0 URUGUAY (4-2 PENALTIES) We qualified for a first World Cup since 1974. After we lost the first leg 1-0, Guus Hiddink benched me. Within 30 minutes I was on. We scored and then won the shootout. When John Aloisi scored the final penalty, I stood, arms raised, and saw the crowd cheer. I won’t forget it. JUNE 22, 2006: CROATIA 2-2 AUSTRALIA To score the goal that put my country into the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time was an amazing feeling To score the goal that put my country into the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time was an amazing feeling. We went behind twice but rallied and deserved to go through. Graham Poll showed one of the Croatia players three yellow cards and then disallowed our third goal, but we got there in the end! APRIL 12, 2014: MELBOURNE HEART 2-3 WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS This was my final game. You never want to give it up, but I was picking up niggly injuries. Finishing my career in my home country, and being able to walk out with my four kids to a guard of honour, was something special.

If it had been a top 5, I would hope Harry would remember his debut goal for the Socceroos, scored against Iran, in Iran, in front of about 100k spectators.
