Mark Hudson hopes his future at Cardiff City is decided over the coming days and said there were a few "little things to sort out" after Vincent Tan offered him the manager's job until the end of the season.
Ahead of the defeat by Hull City on Tuesday night, it was revealed that Tan, who was in attendance at Cardiff City Stadium for the first time since May 2019, had asked interim boss Hudson to stay on until the end of the campaign.
When asked whether it was all confirmed or whether he was still deciding on the proposal, Hudson said: "I'm not deciding. We have had a good conversation today. There are just a few more pieces we need to put together.

"We are ambitious as a football club. We have ambitious players. Us as coaches are ambitious as well. If you compare the two performances from Sunderland to today, we weren't at our levels, ultimately.
"We had good discussions today. Ultimately, that's not the way we wanted to see today go. There are just a few little things to sort out.
"I'll probably speak to him a bit later. I'll speak to the board. I'll let them get on their way tonight and then there will be a few discussions within the next couple of days.
"He (Tan) has got a plan for the future. Which is good. It shows support. That's what the football club needs, we need everyone together heading in the right direction. The conversations were good."
Given Tan had waited more than three years to see the team he owns in the flesh, Cardiff put in a poor showing. They started the game terribly, briefly picked up after half-time but then two goals in two minutes from Regan Slater helped Hull come back to win it 3-2.
Hudson bemoaned his side's naivety in their defending for the three soft goals.
"We didn't play well in the first half. We spoke about it at half-time and started the second half well," he added. "Then we were naïve to a couple of moments in the game. Then gifted them the winner, which we've spoken about after.
"There's lots of things we need to learn, but we'll stick together to improve.
"We have had good consistency of performance up until today. The first half was a bit disjointed. Whether that was the personnel of the fixture list, we will look at it.
"We know we have got a tough one [against Sheffield United] on Saturday."

The atmosphere in the stadium swung from booing at half-time to excitement after taking the lead. However, by the end of the match, the crowd voiced their disgruntlement at what was ultimately a sub-par performance.
Asked about the tetchy atmosphere inside the stadium after the match, Hudson said: "We have got to create the atmosphere. I told them that at the beginning of the game. But we started on the wrong side of that and we didn't give them (the fans) any belief.
"But then we showed how we can react in the second half. Two goals in the second half we definitely need to learn from."
