It\u2019s understood Carlton\u2019s board met on Monday morning to ratify the decision after a multi-month search, with the club expected to announce the deal on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Reports state Fraser has signed a three-year deal.<\/p>\n
Carlton teased the announcement with a social media clip on Monday that shows a list of Carlton coaches on a locker with Fraser\u2019s iconic hoodie inside and the caption: \u201cNot just a Frase. Tomorrow (eyes emoji).\u201d<\/p>\n
He would win the job over fellow finalists Jaymie Graham, Corey Enright, James Kelly and Daniel Giansiracusa.<\/p>\n
Fraser has steered the Blues to a remarkable turnaround, with 10 wins, one draw and two losses after they were 1-8 when he replaced Michael Voss in May.<\/p>\n

Fraser confirmed last week he\u2019d entered the process and presented to the coaching panel after being previously non-committal. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve said all along if I committed to that process, I was all in,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow it\u2019s in the hands of the selection panel and we\u2019ll see what comes of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a reality that there\u2019s 18, 19 jobs to be a senior coach. Given the experiences I\u2019ve had, the work I\u2019ve been able to do to continually develop and grow myself, I felt like it was the right time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m as excited about this group as a lot of our Carlton supporters would be.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 44-year old returned to Carlton this year after three seasons at Collingwood. He\u2019s previously coached the Magpies\u2019 VFL team, the Northern Blues and Gold Coast\u2019s NEAFL side.<\/p>\n
