Lars Lagerback admits he might be back in "some capacity" after his Iceland tenure ended with a 5-2 defeat by France in the Euro 2016 quarter-final.
It was announced in May that the Swede would not continue after the tournament, their first-ever appearance on the major international stage.
Lagerback and co-manager Heimir Hallgrimsson led Iceland to famous victories over Austria and England, and said after the defeat at the Stade de France his tenure has been a "fantastic journey".
"I may come back to coaching in some capacity, but now it's Heimir Hallgrimsson's turn to test his abilities and fly with the national team. These four-and-a-half years have been a fantastic journey for me.
"With all the fans coming here and what we heard from back home, and all the positivity and interest - I feel it deep in my heart. I've enjoyed every minute, except maybe the first 45 minutes today."
Iceland were 4-0 down at half-time in Paris against hosts France, but reduced the deficit on two occasions in the second half.
France were too strong throughout, however, and Lagerback says it was a mentality problem over anything else.
"We didn't handle it well mentally, but in the second half we showed it wasn't a physical problem. These are the games you have to learn from and we need to learn from this. This was a good reminder that you have to have the right attitude every second.
"If you look at the whole tournament, to reach the quarter-finals as a newcomer is absolutely fantastic. We didn't use our brains, but part of that might be France playing very well. We made mistakes and were too passive."
"I'd like to congratulate France. They're a fantastic team and they made us look bad, even if we contributed to that.
