Alisher Apsalyamov, the 23-year-old Kazakh who became Cardiff City's head of recruitment, has stepped aside temporarily over a visa issue.
BBC Sport understands immigration officials spoke to the club about his work permit on Tuesday.
The club are believed to be confident any issues will be resolved quickly.
Cardiff shocked fans last month when they replaced Iain Moody with Apsalyamov, who was formerly at the club on work experience.
A Home Office spokesperson told BBC Sport: "We do not routinely comment on individual cases.
"Any allegation that an individual has breached the terms of their visa will be investigated."
