Championship leaders Leeds will be under a formal Football League investigation following Marcelo Bielsa's admission that he instructed a member of staff to spy on a Derby training session.
Leeds manager Bielsa revealed he was responsible for sending the man to watch Frank Lampard's Derby in training on Thursday.
Bielsa claimed the practice of spying on opponents was common in his native Argentina.
Derbyshire Police were forced to intervene and move the individual on, while Leeds have since apologised to Derby and said they will remind Bielsa of his responsibilities.
Bielsa's side beat promotion rivals Derby 2-0 24 hours later to cement their four-point lead at top of the second tier as they chase promotion to the Premier League.
But the Football Association has begun its own probe and the Football League has followed suit.
