Leeds manager Neil Warnock says he "does not expect to be in charge" for the Championship club's next match.
The Whites lost 2-1 to Derby on Monday, leaving 12th-placed Leeds well adrift of the play-offs and just five points clear of the relegation zone.
United, who have lost three successive matches, visit Charlton on Saturday.
Warnock, 64, has previously admitted he would leave the West Yorkshire club if they failed to win promotion to the Premier League.
The former Sheffield United and QPR manager also indicated he could leave before his contract expires in the summer, once it was mathematically impossible for the Whites to clinch a return to the top-flight for the first time since 2004.
He has already held talks with Leeds owners GFH Capital, a Dubai-based equity group which bought the club from Ken Bates in December, about possible successors.
Following the defeat by Derby, Warnock said he has recommended Leeds Under-18s manager Neil Redfearn and technical director Gwyn Williams take charge until the end of the season.
