Based on David Peace's book, the film is set in 1974 during Clough's disastrous 44-day spell in charge of Leeds United. The story will flash back to his more successful managerial reign at Derby County. One critic described Peace's book as "probably the best novel ever written about sport".
Dominic Hooper will direct from a screenplay by Peter Morgan (The Queen). Shooting is to commence next month with Michael Sheen (as Clough), Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney among the cast.
Andy Harries will produce the £5 million ($10 million) film, which Sony will co-finance with BBC Films.
