LEEDS United head coach Steve Evans will celebrate with a champagne reception if he is kept on at Elland Road and guides the club to promotion next season.

The Whites end their campaign at Preston tomorrow lunchtime, with Evans still uncertain as to whether his tenure will be extended.

The Scot's contract is due to expire next month and he is keen to be given the task of fashioning a promotion challenge next season by owner Massimo Cellino.

Evans said: "I went on record last weekend as saying I do believe he knows his decision. The president's been on other business but that day's coming closer for all of us. Certainly it won't be going much beyond the weekend.

"There will come a day where I have to act in the interests of myself and my family. I'm no different to the majority of supporters.

"We've got mortgages, bills and kids to support. It's not an imminent situation. I don't need a decision today or tomorrow but a decision does need to be made.

"I have to believe I'll be here. I'm still continuing with planning for next season and I'll do that until someone tells me otherwise.

"I understand that if I'm the chosen one, I have to deliver the play-offs – if not promotion – next season.

"But if I'm sitting here in a year's time then you'll be sitting with some champagne, a bit like Leicester were."

Leeds have been through a handful of managers during Cellino's stewardship and the controversial Italian could easily appoint another new man this summer.

But Evans said: "I've been getting sacked for three months, haven't I? It's different coaches every week

"I've been told many times to not believe all that and just deal with the facts. I sit here and I do believe the president wants to take me forward.

"It's a really tough job being head coach of Leeds United and you have to know the Championship.

"I believe that if this club are going to get success, we do need stability and we need additional talent so that everyone feels there's an opportunity to have a great season."
