Gareth Southgate says he has "loved" being England manager but his future is "out of his hands" following the 3-0 World Cup Qualifer win over Scotland at Wembley.
Southgate's side scored from all three of their shots on target at Wembley, and the result means they stay two points clear at the top of Group F.
The 46-year-old, who took over from Sam Allardyce after he was sacked in September, is the overwhelming favourite to get the job on a permanent basis, and the victory on Friday only strengthened his position.
"I've loved it," he said. "I've really enjoyed the role, the responsibility, the challenge of every part of it. I get that it's not quite as enjoyable if you don't get the results.
"It's been a brilliant experience. I've taken so much from it. As a group of staff, it's not just about me remember, we've created a good environment here.
"It's not my decision [whether he gets the job]. I was really pleased to be given the task to pick up the job in a difficult situation and I feel we've prepared the team really well. I've enjoyed that.
"We now have a different challenge to prepare for Spain, and the rest is out of my hands."
The FA will begin to formally assess their options for a new manager after the friendly with Spain at Wembley on Tuesday, but goals from Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill means spirits are high going into the fixture against the former world champions.
Southgate has won two and drawn one of his three games so far, keeping three clean sheets, and the coach said his players came through a pressurised environment to deliver against their rivals.
"For the players to come through a pressured environment and win, and enjoy their football towards the end. They were able to experience playing at Wembley with some freedom," he said.
"There's lots to improve and reflect upon, but things to be pleased about too.
"I think we were very clear on how we felt we needed to prepare, very clear on our use of the ball, how we could get more from the team than we did in the first couple of matches, there were some really good signs of that transferring onto the field.
"We want to play from the back, but we invited the press too readily at times. But tonight is down to the players, they've shown elements of what they're capable of."
