This will be Johnson’s first managerial role after he left Scottish club Kilmarnock in January.
He finds himself in the same division as his father, Gary, who is in charge at Yeovil.
The Oldham Evening Chronicle have reported that he was interviewed at the club on Wednesday and ‘blew other contenders out of the water’, according to a source, beating 120 applicants.
