Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has reportedly been told that he must win Saturday's match against Reading if he is to keep his job.
The R's are currently bottom of the Premier League table and are without a win from their opening nine matches of the campaign.
The club's hierarchy could sack Hughes next weekend if the team does not get a result against the Royals at Loftus Road, according to the Daily Mail.
The former Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City and Fulham boss signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with QPR in January.
