Russell Martin is set to meet with the Swansea City hierarchy this week to discuss his future at the club.
WalesOnline understands the Swans boss is due to sit down with new chairman Andy Coleman for talks over his contract situation, with Martin now approaching the final year of his current deal.
Other members of the American ownership may well be included in discussions, which reports elsewhere claim will be held in Washington DC.
The timescale on those talks remains unclear. Indeed, there is still no clarity yet on whether the club intend to actually offer to extend 37-year-old manager's stay.

As well as talks over his future, Martin will likely seek some clarity on the ownership's plans for the club next season while also reflecting on the most recent campaign, which saw the Swans finish three points short of the play-offs.
A run of seven wins in their last nine games ensured the Swans recovered from a bitterly disappointing January transfer window to end the season strongly, and their recent run has brought Martin's future further under the microscope.
However, at the time of writing, there has not been any sort of meaningful change in his situation.
Martin himself has frequently insisted he is happy with life in south Wales and says he remains committed to the project in SA1. But until an extension to his contract is finalised, speculation over the future is likely to rumble on.
Southampton are the latest side to have been mentioned as a possible suitor, with the Saints reportedly set to switch their attention to a more possession-based philosophy following their relegation from the Premier League. Leicester City, too, could come calling if they follow suit in losing their top-flight status.
Martin has indicated there is some enthusiasm at boardroom level to keep him at the helm, but he will likely want some assurances around the level of backing he receives next season after watching the club fail to add a single signing to their ranks during what was a pitiful January transfer window.
