Football Association of Wales chief Jonathan Ford insists he is not worried about losing Chris Coleman as manager before the end of his contract.
Coleman has a two-year deal which sees him through to the 2018 World Cup and he intends to see that out after guiding Wales into the semi-finals at Euro 2016.
Ford claims Coleman is "absolutely wedded" to the Wales job, although he does admit it would be tough keeping hold of the 46-year-old if a Premier League club came calling.
"At the end of the day we do have a contract that has been signed but if somebody desperately says 'I'm not going to do the job' then you're going to have a tough time keeping them," FAW chief executive Ford told the BBC.
"There are procedures and there are policies in place with regards to that happening, but let's hope it doesn't. Chris is absolutely wedded to the Welsh, he is Welsh through and through, he'd run through brick walls for us. We're delighted with the progress we've made and I think he's delighted with the job that he's done.
"I don't worry about those things. My focus is on the job at hand - we'll cross that bridge if we have to.
"The team get on like a band of brothers but it's also the backroom staff we've got to thank, and all the FAW staff," he added.
"We've all worked so hard to make this a reality and we've got to thank the fans, they have been fantastic. It has been about coming together in the right way - together stronger we achieved more than we possibly hoped."
Ford said a key decision had been to invest the participation fee for reaching the tournament in the best facilities money could buy.
He said: "The money that you get at the start of the tournament is to enable you to participate. I went to the board and said, 'I want to spend it all'.
"They allowed me to do that and we got the best hotel that we could, we got all the facilities right, we spent the money in order to give the boys the best chance of success on the field of play and it worked.
"There are extra spin-offs - you do get more money as you progress through the tournament and of course more people bought more shirts. It was lovely going back to a sea of red."
