The club is in talks with a former Manchester City captain about becoming their new manager.
At the end of his second full season as Anderlecht's manager, it is believed that the former Belgium centre-back could leave his current job.
Sean Dyche is not on the list of candidates to become the next manager at Turf Moor.
Mike Jackson picked up 11 points from eight games in charge, but he was not able to save the club from the Championship on the final day of the season.
After being named player-manager of Anderlecht, he returned to playing duties for the rest of the season after presiding over their worst start to a league season.
On the day he announced his retirement from playing, he was given the role again. They were fourth in the Belgian first division in his first season. The club is currently in third place and he is closing in on going one better.
Ahead of their final game of the season with Club Brugge on Sunday, he cast doubt over his future at the club by telling reporters: "I will sit down with the board this summer." We will see if the goals are doable. Shouting about winning is only one thing.
The manager and the Anderlecht hierarchy are said to be at odds after the owner posted on his social media account how to kill an entire season in a single week.
The last of the four Premier League titles they earned during his stay at the club was lifted by a potentially title-winning strike againstLeicester City in 2019.
When Jackson spoke to reporters last week, he didn't say if he wanted to stay in his role as interim head coach.
He said that he had not thought about the job. How can we achieve what we want to do?
We have not spoken about it. We have not had time to think about that. My focus has been on trying to get this.
Let's see what happens on Monday. We will have a good Monday if everything goes according to plan.
