Mott, 50, was appointed when England split the head coach roles in 2022 and later that year presided over the triumph at the T20 World Cup in his home country.
But England, champions in 2019, endured a calamitous 50-over World Cup in India last year, winning only three of their nine matches.
And they surrendered the T20 title in the Caribbean and United States in June, beaten in the semi-finals by eventual champions India.
A run to the last four seemed like a minimum requirement for Mott to keep his job, though England managed to win just one of the four games they played against other Test-playing sides.
At the beginning of July, Key was asked if Buttler and Mott would remain in charge and said he would look “at what’s the best way for that white-ball team to move forward”.
Asked if Mott’s job was safe, Gould added: “I’m not going to be giving, or drawn into, any vote of confidence because I know where that leads.
“We’ll always use whatever time we’ve got available to make the best decisions possible. We won’t be pressured into anything other than that.”
He was then asked if any decision was imminent and said: “No.”
Mott has a losing record in one-day internationals, having lost 18 and won 16 of his completed matches in charge, but a better record in T20s, where he has 23 wins and 19 defeats.
