Chris Coleman is in no rush to think about his future as Wales manager after their World Cup campaign ended at the qualification stage.
James McClean scored the only goal of the game in the 57th minute as Republic of Ireland became the first side to win on Welsh soil in four years, bagging themselves a World Cup play-off place in the process.
In a winner-takes-all clash for the runners-up spot in Group D behind Serbia, McClean hammered home just after half-time as Ireland put on a defensive masterclass to deny the 2016 European Championship semi-finalists.
When asked whether the Ireland defeat would be his last game as Wales boss, Coleman told Sky Sports: "Right now all I can think about, picture in my mind, is the faces of the players in the dressing room and the disappointment. They are inconsolable at the moment but they should feel very proud. That's all I can think about.
"I know I'm going to be asked about my situation but I won't think about that right now.
"I'll take some time to let the dust settle and then I'm sure we'll have a sit down and have a chat and we'll take it from there."
