Gareth Southgate insists he is only focused on leading England to glory at Euro 2024 and not his future, telling Sky News: "If we can do that, maybe I'll retire and do nothing anyway."
The tournament in Germany next month will be Southgate's fourth in charge.
It comes after he led England to a World Cup semi-final in 2018 and quarter-final in 2022, and to the final of the Euros at Wembley in 2021 - which the side lost on penalties.
Asked if it would be his decision or the Football Association's whether to sign a new contract, Southgate said: "I imagine both. That's always as we've worked."
Speaking during an interview at England's St George's Park HQ, he added: "But, the reality of that is we focus totally on this tournament. I've worked in this building for over 10 years and, yeah, the ambition has been to win a tournament.
"So, there's nothing for us to consider until we've done that. And if we can do that, maybe I'll retire and do nothing anyway."
Southgate has been linked with the top job at Manchester United - which is not vacant yet - in a potential return to club coaching 15 years after he left Middlesbrough.
However, Southgate said he would not be considering any other option before completing his Euros mission in Germany.
He said: "I've never spoken with a club in all my time in the job - I think that would be disrespectful to the position I hold.
"When you've worked so long and so hard for the opportunity to take your country and lead them with a chance to win something, then your focus has got to be 100% on that. And that's where mine is."
Big names left out
It came as Southgate named his provisional 33-strong squad for the tournament with 26 days to go until England play their opener against Serbia.
However, several big names - including Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson - have been left out.
The squad will be cut to a maximum of 26 players by 7 June.
Rashford has been to the last four major tournaments but has struggled for form at Manchester United this season.
Henderson, a veteran of six tournaments, joined Ajax in January after making a controversial move to Saudi side Al-Ettifaq last summer.
Raheem Sterling was also left out, with Chelsea team-mates Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Levi Colwill also omitted.
There was also no room for Eric Dier, despite some impressive form for Bayern Munich since his January move from Tottenham.
'These are difficult calls'
Southgate said: "These are difficult calls, you are talking about players who are very good players who have been an important part of what we have done.
"With Marcus, I feel players in the same area of the pitch have had better seasons, it's as simple as that.
"Hendo has given himself every chance, the determining factor is the injury he picked up in the last camp, he missed five weeks and he just hasn't been able to get to the intensity in the games since then.
"He is a fantastic professional and it was a difficult call to make."
Harry Kane, Harry Maguire, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka were all selected despite recent injury concerns, and Luke Shaw has also been included.
Liverpool youngsters Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah have been included for the first time, while there is a first call-up for Adam Wharton.
The Crystal Palace midfielder is joined in the squad by team-mates Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi and Dean Henderson.
Southgate says the number of injuries will affect the make-up of the final squad.
"There are a significant number injured, that will be apparent looking at the players who have missed the last few games of the season and some who are coming back for the last few games of the season," Southgate said.
"Some players are going to need more work, other players don't need much at all and need refreshing. We have never had so many unknowns. The key is making the best possible decisions."
