Heart of Midlothian manager Paulo Sergio is set to learn his fate this Saturday.
The Portuguese has been holding talks with the Edinburgh club regarding a contract extension but both parties have yet to come to an agreement.
Sergio has a 21-day notice period written into his current deal, which ends on June 30, making this Saturday, June 9 the date where the club needs to make a decision.
It is believed that Sergio wants assurances that the Jambos will not offload their star players whilst owner Vladimir Romanov is keen to reduce the managers salary.
