LEE CARSLEY will hold talks with the FA amid fears he could call it quits after taking England to Under-21 Euro glory.
The coach, 49, presided over a first title for the Young Lions in 39 years with a flawless tournament in Georgia.
Carsley, who is on a rolling one-year contract, is believed to be undecided over whether to stay on.
He will speak with FA technical director John McDermott in two weeks when the latter returns from holiday.
Carsley has been linked with the Republic of Ireland post.
Meanwhile, his assistant Joleon Lescott is set to leave the U21 set-up as he wants to pursue a technical director career path rather than coaching.

Lescott, along with fellow right-hand men Ashley Cole and Tim Dittmer, played a huge role in England’s success.
Three Lions legend Cole, 42, is keen to become a manager himself.
The ex-Arsenal and Chelsea full-back explained: “This tournament has given me an insight into what it means and how I want to be as a coach.
“To create an environment where everyone wants to come on England duty. They truly, truly love coming here now. I think that is testament to what Lee has done here.”

England Under-21s created history by winning the European Championship, beating Spain 1-0 in the final thanks to James Trafford’s last-gasp penalty heroics.
The young Three Lions side went the entire tournament without conceding, leading some Chelsea fans to call for Trafford’s signing.
However the keeper appears destined to join Burnley after Manchester City accepted a £19million offer.
