Alejandro Sabella has revealed that he is likely to decide whether to carry on as Argentina manager before next week.

The 59-year-old suffered disappointment with his players in the World Cup final as a Mario Gotze winner secured the title for Germany at the Maracana, and it still remains unclear if a new coach will be drafted in as a replacement in the near future.

"First of all, I don't know what the idea of the AFA is about my future, and I have to rest a few days," Sabella told TYC Sports. "I won't hold things up much because I'm a responsible person. I'll think about it this weekend and I'll call [AFA president] Julio Grondona to meet him.

"I will only continue being the manager if I can give 100% of my energy, as I ask of my players."

Sabella became Argentina manager in July 2011.
