The Scot took over as manager of the Hornets last week when Oscar Garcia resigned due to ill health.
However, according to the Daily Mail, McKinlay will leave the club on Tuesday, having taken charge of just two matches.
McKinlay had been the Northern Ireland assistant manager since 2012, but left the role after taking over at Vicarage Road.
