Swindon Town interim head coach Gavin Gunning said that he should find out whether he will get the job full-time soon.
The 33-year-old will take his 18th game in charge this season when Morecambe visit the County Ground on Saturday as the curtain falls on the campaign.
Swindon are yet to announce a permanent replacement for Michael Flynn after he departed the club in January following a poor run of results.
Gunning has made no secret of his desire to be Flynn’s successor since taking the reigns on a temporary basis, but so far no announcement has been made on what direction Swindon intend to go in for next season.
Speaking ahead of Town’s final game of the season, Gunning said that he would find out his fate either way shortly.
He said: “I think that Clem [Morfuni] is over, so I will speak to him and see where we stand.
“I don’t know [whether this game will influence that decision], I want to win every game because I am a winner, that is what I want to do and when we don’t win I am not happy and I would imagine that the club are the same.”
Gunning previously stated why he feels he is the right man to take Swindon forward into next season, believing that his work in changing the style of play of the team and their performance levels in most of his games makes him the right candidate.
Speaking back in January after appointing Gunning, Morfuni discussed the reasons behind his trust in the interim head coach.
He said: “Gavin is going to be until the end of the season but we will look at the results if they don’t work out then we will see what we need to do, we are always searching and making sure that he is right but he has our full support.
“He has managed the team before and he has done a good job in that, so I think it is enough time.
“He has come to Australia and I have a personal relationship with him but it is about the team and making sure that the supporters are happy.
“He has great knowledge about football, he knows the level, and he has a good rapport with the players.
“He does a great job on coaching and I thought that we had to change it up, we were 15th and we couldn’t accept that.”
