Huddersfield Town are reportedly prepared to keep Neil Warnock as the club's manager next season, although they have identified a back-up option if the 74-year-old decides to depart.
The veteran coach joined the Terriers in February and steered them out of the Championship relegation zone, with the Yorkshire club finishing nine points clear of the bottom three.
Having rounded off their second-tier campaign with three-straight victories, and it is understood that Huddersfield want to continue that momentum with Warnock into next season.
According to The Sun, Huddersfield want Warnock to remain at the helm next term, but know that the former Cardiff City boss will have to consult his family before making a decision on his future.
The report also claims that the Terriers have an ideal successor to their managerial throne in Yorkshire if Warnock did not stay at the John Smith's Stadium, with Barnsley's Michael Duff being identified.
It is believed that incoming owner Kevin Nagle has admired the work that Warnock has done in keeping Huddersfield in the division and would like to see him stay on.
Duff could be battling against Huddersfield in the Championship with Barnsley next season - the Tykes travel to Wembley on Monday afternoon for their League One playoff final versus Darren Moore's Sheffield Wednesday.
