Neil Warnock has been told that he will be in charge of Queens Park Rangers for two more matches, according to a report.
The 66-year-old has been in interim charge at Loftus Road since the decision was taken to sack Chris Ramsey earlier this month.
Warnock, who was manager of the R's from March 2010 to January 2012, admitted last week that he was not in contention for the job on a permanent basis.
Nevertheless, BBC Sport claims that the veteran coach will remain at the helm for tomorrow's Championship clash against Middlesbrough and then the meeting with Leeds United eight days later, when a replacement for Ramsey will be announced.
A number of men have been linked with the vacancy, including Nigel Pearson and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
