Ruud van Nistelrooy says he is still waiting to find out if he will keep his job as Leicester City manager following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
The Foxes, whose 1-0 defeat by Liverpool at the King Power Stadium last weekend confirmed they would be returning to the Championship, have earned just eight points from 20 matches under the Dutchman.
Van Nistelrooy, 48, said he has sat down with the owners and the board and told them “how we move forward as a club”.
“I know what my plan is to bring the club back but I am waiting on alignment,” he added.
“The quicker the better for the football club.”
Leicester face Wolves at Molineux on Saturday at 15:00 BST.
Van Nistelrooy signed a three-year deal with Leicester in November, following the sacking of Steve Cooper after just 157 days in charge.
However, the former Manchester United striker’s appointment failed to rally the club, and their second relegation in three seasons was on the cards for months.
The defeat by leaders Liverpool, their 16th in the past 18 games, was the Foxes’ ninth consecutive Premier League home game without scoring a goal – a new top-flight record.
A light aircraft was flown over the stadium before kick-off on Sunday, trailing a banner reading “King Power Clueless Sack The Board”.
