After 17 years inside Hertha's academy, Reiss will move to City as a free agent.
He will succeed Ben Wilkinson after his promotion to the U21 team following Brian Barry-Murphy's surprise departure this week.
It's suggested Reiss' appointment is all but settled, with only minor details needing to be ironed out.
