Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is set to sign his new 12 month deal this week.
The Whites boss penned a one-year deal just a day before the first game of last season.
Leeds CEO Angus Kinnear revealed the Argentine leaves it so late because of his “lack of interest in it".
He said: “He's ready. His contract isn't ready but he's ready. I think bar the contract we're in great shape.
“It'll be signed this week and announced to great excitement. It's not even been discussed. The discussions are all around preparations, it really is a formality.
“We had a handshake probably six months ago and it really is just the details. Every day he's talking to (director of football) Victor Orta, (owner) Andrea Radrizzani and myself but it's all about preparations.
“Fundamentally it's his lack of interest in it. There are some minor points that we discuss but it's just getting his attention on it.
“He is just so fixated on the season and the preparations so we have minor points that occasionally come up when we get him to engage on it, but actually it's much more around the line-ups for the games and the transfer window and that's where his priorities are and we wouldn't have it any other way."
