The Lions are yet to sack current boss Kenny Jackett, who see his slide slip to one place above the relegation zone in the Championship yesterday afternoon.
The club's board are believed to be losing patience with Jackett and could end his tenure in charge this week.
Keane has had previous spells in charge of Sunderland and Ipswich Town.
