Marco Silva says a decision on his Hull City future will be made on Wednesday, as he plans to think about the best move for himself and the club.
Hull fans serenaded Silva and urged him to stay throughout a 7-1 thrashing at home to Tottenham on the final day.
There has been speculation that several clubs are interested in Silva after Hull's relegation from the Premier League.
He told Sky Sports: "I need to think and see what is the best solution, not only for the club, but for me as a coach and for my career. The next days will be important.
"I need to decide. The club needs to know and start to do things differently to last summer. It's clear that you start to win or lose with everything you do in the summer when you prepare the season and the team.

"I am sure next Wednesday we will decide."
Silva was appointed as Hull manager on January 5 but, despite improving the club's form, he could not keep them in the Premier League.
"When we came we knew the risk and it was a big decision but we tried to change everything, all that was possible to change," he said.
"We changed many things, we started to win some games and everybody started to believe. We fought together, the fans as well. Maybe the game against Sunderland was a key moment. We didn't win the game and that make the difference."
Reflecting on the defeat by Spurs, he said: "It was a bad day. Tottenham came here to play like they played against Leicester [6-1 win on Thursday], they were in a very good moment with very good players and we only played 15 minutes at the start of the second half, nothing more.
"We were on the pitch but we did not play, only look for the ball, we didn't pressure, didn't do anything special, and they play without pressure. They have a lot of quality.
"The only thing positive was the behaviour of the fans, they supported the team again, even losing 7-1 they were amazing.
"Big respect to the fans. They support me, my staff, the players and the club, since my first game I ask for them to come to make our stadium difficult for the opponent and they have been fantastic. "
