EX-Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock will address the uncertainty surrounding his Huddersfield Town future at a press conference on Monday afternoon, with reports suggesting the veteran boss will step down.
Warnock took charge of Town in February and managed to guide them to Championship safety against the odds. He then agreed a one-year extension to stay on at the John Smith's Stadium after Kevin Nagle's takeover of the club.
But, according to reports, the 74-year-old's relationship with Town chiefs is extremely strained, which led to speculation at the end of last week that Warnock was going to walk away.
He was in the dugout on Saturday, when Huddersfield beat Rotherham 2-0 - a second successive victory for Town, after which he confirmed that he'd clarify his situation in a press conference on Monday at 1pm.
He will, he says, be in charge for Huddersfield's game against Stoke on Wednesday night, but that could prove to be his last.

Warnock said: “It (social media) did say this was my last game so that’s wrong then.
“So you’ll have to wait until Monday now, the press conference. We’ll discuss it then.
“I'm ever so proud of what we've achieved here. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I’m not prepared to talk about it [now], but it was a wonderful performance [against Rotherham]."
Warnock has come up against his former club Boro twice this season. Michael Carrick's side beat the Terriers in the Carabao Cup first round but could only manage a draw when the sides met at the Riverside in the league.
