Marcelo Bielsa's future as Leeds United boss is in serious danger after Saturday's 4-0 loss to Tottenham.
The popular Argentine coach was already under pressure following a dire sequence of results.
However, today's home defeat by Tottenham has made Bielsa's position even more precarious.
It is understood senior Leeds figures had already been assessing successors to Bielsa in the belief the 66-year-old would almost certainly leave Elland Road at the end of the season.
Now they must decide whether to act now in order to preserve Leeds' top flight status.
Former RB Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch has been of interested to Leeds for a while now.
