[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said he was satisfied with the arrangements being made for him by former Zimbabwe player and now national selector Alistair Campbell.
"I think it's exciting for Zimbabwe to be getting back to international cricket. They have had some tough times but I'd like to be part of that."
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], signs of improving health and welfare conditions have encouraged teams to start touring there again recently. New Zealand will send an A side there next month.
His coaching task is to prepare the under-19 team through to the next world youth cup in early 2012.
Zimbabwe is not everyone's favourite place to live under Robert Mugabe's political regime and the team's test status has been suspended by the International Cricket Council.
He had already accepted an offer to be the player-coach for the Burnside-West University cricket club this summer, but had since advised BWU of the current offer.
"Eventually I decided this was the path I wanted to go down to stay in cricket and the offer to coach a national youth team was too good to turn down."
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] expects to know later this week if the deal will proceed but he believes it will happen provided some loose ends can be tidied up.
Former New Zealand and Canterbury cricketer [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is on the verge of signing a two-year contract to coach the Zimbabwe national under-19 team.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 40, said he had initially been uncertain if he wanted to get into coaching as his playing career winds down.
"We have been exchanging information and are very close to final terms."
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has made 84 first-class appearances for Canterbury since 1989, had hoped to be considered for a Wizards contract this summer after playing for them last season but was passed over.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said he would be living in a four-bedroom home in a gated community. Wife Linda and young family would join him in December.

[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said the possibility of coaching at international level became a prospect while he was playing in England this year.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is also likely to play in Zimbabwe's domestic Twenty20 championship league while living there and may also assist the national senior side.
"I've told them I probably won't be able to go ahead unless it fell over. It was just one of those things."
"They said that the door was not closed on playing and they would look seriously at me but I had to look at other avenues because there was no guarantees."
