While Arne Slot has eliminated himself from consideration for the permanent position, Leeds interim manager Michael Skubala will continue in charge for Sunday's home game against Manchester United.
The head coach of Feyenoord, Slot, told the Dutch media that he would "stay" at the team.
Leeds has interviewed their top four candidates to take Jesse Marsch's place after he was fired on Monday.
Skubala, the under-21s coach, presided over Leeds' 2-2 Premier League draw at Manchester United on Wednesday.
"Victor [Orta, the director of football], and I have been in daily clear communication.". On Sunday, I anticipate taking control," he stated.
It's unusual to play the same team twice in a row. There may be a few minor adjustments needed, but nothing significant. We can finish our work and start getting in shape tomorrow.
Leeds had hoped to name a new manager by Thursday morning, but their attempt to approach Andoni Iraola was thwarted by Rayo Vallecano.
Iraola wanted to talk to Leeds, but talks are still in a standstill.
Slot was quoted by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf as saying: "I'm staying, but only as Feyenoord's trainer. Now I can say that.
"The clubs have communicated, but we are working on something beautiful here.
"The fact that a team like Leeds United is interested is a compliment. It is a wonderful club in England, but staying at Feyenoord is not a letdown or a punishment.
On Sunday, when Leeds hosts Manchester United for their second meeting in five days, Skubala will serve as the game's head coach for the first time at Elland Road.
He praised Leeds' experienced players for their contributions despite the managerial turmoil and said it will be "a pleasure and an honor" to lead his team out on home soil.
Whatever transpired in the previous game is now, in my opinion, closed. "The book is closed, but we'll try for three points again on Sunday.
The senior players are assisting the younger players, which is positive, he continued, adding, "I've loved it [the exposure] - is that allowed?
The fact that some of the more experienced players have dealt with similar situations in the past helps the younger players remain composed and unconcerned while adjusting to change.
