But the far-travelled manager had a health scare that prompted him to cancel dates on his personal tour.
If Warnock is ruled out, Huddersfield will go for Barnsley’s Michael Duff.
The Tykes take on Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow in the League One play-off final.
Warnock was given a guard of honour by his own players after keeping Huddersfield up.
Chatting to SunSport’s Justin Allen last month, Warnock revealed what makes the likes of Pep Guardiola successful.
He said: “It used to be the fashion to have older managers and then the trend moved to younger coaches.
“They talk about tactics, formations and what have you — yet 95 percent of this job is and always will be man-management.
“Pep Guardiola knows what he’s doing but the biggest thing he does is get the players to believe in what he says. That’s why he’s successful.”

On the trend of experienced bosses getting the chop mid-season, he added: “You just need an older head sometimes. I look at some of the decisions clubs make and who they’ve appointed as a caretaker.
“I’m thinking ‘This is silly.’ Anyone who has a clue about football knows it’s not going to be a success. It baffles me.
“That’s why there’ll always be a job for me every February, March and April if I keep my health.”
