Former Manchester United and Liverpool star Paul Ince will meet with Reading owner Dai Yongge this week to discuss his future.
Ince took over as interim manager of the Royals in February this year and has since secured their Championship status for another season.
Asked about when he'll discuss his future with the club's owner, Ince said: "It'll be this week.
"It's got to be a situation where the club agrees to the same path I want to be on. Next season will be tough so there is a lot of work to be done even before pre-season.
"Everything has to be put in place quickly. As soon as the games finish, there is a lot of work to be done."
