Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez has refused to comment on whether he will remain in charge after their 2-0 defeat to France in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The former AC Milan boss, who has managed the national team for 12 years, was unwilling to discuss whether he has a future in the role.
"I don't know of any coach who can decide his own future," The Mirror quotes him as saying. "I still have a contract, but I am not going to talk about what might happen because this is not the time.
"There are associations who are there to decide these things and if I made a comment now I would be going against my principles.
"I don't know what is going to happen, but Uruguayan football will continue to grow and develop its history."
Goals from Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann were Uruguay's undoing in the quarter-final clash.
