The England and Wales Cricket Board says there is no truth reports that bowling coach Ottis Gibson is to resign and take over as West Indies coach.
Radio Jamaica claims on its website that Gibson "is set to arrive in time to take up the job before South Africa's tour of the Caribbean in May."
But an ECB spokesman told BBC Sport: "We are certainly not aware of this and no deal has been agreed."
Gibson, 40, played two Tests and 15 one-day internationals for West Indies.
A fast bowler, he ended his playing career after the summer of 2007 at Durham - and was immediately taken on as England's bowling coach.
He has since been given a full-time staff job at the ECB.
Radio Jamaica claims West Indies' current coach David Williams, employed in the main role on a short-term basis, will act as Gibson's deputy. Nobody from the West Indies Cricket Board was available for comment.
Gibson played a crucial role as England won back the Ashes last summer, with star bowlers James Anderson and Andrew Flintoff keen to credit his influence on separate occasions.
After England won the 2005 Ashes with Troy Cooley in the Gibson role, the ECB failed to extend his contract and Cooley switched allegiance to his native Australia.
The loss of Cooley was later cited as a significant reason behind England's 5-0 drubbing by the Aussies in the 2006-07 Ashes.
