England manager Gareth Southgate has affirmed that he will sit down with the FA "in the next few weeks" to discuss his contract situation.
Since taking the reins at Wembley back in 2016, the 51-year-old has led the Three Lions to the semi-finals of the World Cup and final of the European Championships earlier this summer.
As things stand, Southgate's deal with England is set to expire following the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup, but the ex-Middlesbrough man has confirmed that talks will take place soon.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier with Hungary, Southgate said: "I think I said last month that I had asked to put that [contract talks] further back into the autumn as I just wanted to focus on these games and also to give the time to make the right decision.
"After the Euros there is a huge amount of emotion and feeling and fatigue from going through a tournament like that. I want to make sure that I am making the right decisions for the right reasons. We have happily parked that for the time being.
"The discussions are very much open and Mark Bellingham [FA chief executive] has been really supportive but I have really felt this task - of getting the country to the World Cup - was the priority. We can look at everything in the next few weeks."
Southgate has won 42 of his 65 games in charge of the Three Lions since succeeding Sam Allardyce.
