BRISBANE is set to announce Cameron Bruce as its next senior coach.

The Lions board met on Monday afternoon and ratified Bruce as the successor to Chris Fagan.

Bruce beat Nathan Buckley, Adam Simpson and Hayden Skipworth to the job.

The 47-year-old has been an assistant to Fagan for the past five seasons and been part of six premierships in his coaching career that extends back to a stint with Hawthorn.

The club is expected to make the announcement official on Tuesday.
