Chris Coleman's assistant Osian Roberts has said that the Wales manager will make up his own mind on whether he will continue to manage the national side.
Wales failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, after a 1-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland on Monday denied them a playoff spot.
"Chris is his own man and he'll eventually decide what is right for him and for Welsh football. There is no question that he is the best manager in Welsh history and nobody wants that to end," Roberts told reporters.
"The players coming through will strengthen what we have, that excites him and is obviously a major factor. But we will take a little bit of time to gather our thoughts because [going out of the World Cup] was the furthest thing from our mind. Everything was geared towards next summer.
"He couldn't have taken on the job at a more difficult time and what we've collectively achieved since then has been amazing.
"There is no doubt that Chris loved this job, and I'm sure he doesn't want that to end. Whatever decision he makes it's going to be a very difficult one, but this is the dream job managing your country. We will wait to see if he feels if he can take this team further."
Coleman met with his players after the match and according to Sky Sports News, they have given him unanimous support and he plans to hold talks with the FAW in the next few weeks.
Wales last qualified for the World Cup in 1958.
