Leeds United owners are to set to sack former Swansea City boss Garry Monk after the club missed out on a place in the Championship play-offs, according to reports.
According to The Sun there will be a major dug-out shake-up this summer at Elland Road, with a new man at the helm thought to be high on the agenda.
After a difficult start to life in Yorkshire, Monk had been praised for guiding the Whites to within an inch of the play-off places before tailing off in recent weeks.
A 3-3 draw against Norwich City on Saturday has all but ended their promotion hopes.
Leeds co-owner Andrea Radrizzani has appointed Spaniard Ivan Bravo as a special adviser, with a foreign coach set to be brought in.
Monk's contract is up in June and will not be renewed, the Sun state.
Monk said after the game with the Canaries: "I've got one more game left and, you know me, I will be focused on that.
"But like I said in the week, the club have said when they want to speak so I have to respect that and even when that point comes, it will be a case of us both agreeing on the right way to go forward.
"Of course, for me, I know clearly how I would take it forward and take the club forward and the squad forward and the club will have their views as well.
"That's all to come, that's been said for a number of weeks now. There are really solid foundations now for the club to build upon and take this club forward. We'll see how that happens."
