Poland coach Leo Beenhakker refused to resign after Poland's Euro 2008 exit on Monday.
Beenhakker's contract with Poland has been extended to take him through to the end of 2010 World Cup qualifying but his side's poor performance in their first European Championship has led to speculation that he may resign.
"I signed the contract in November, which allows me to coach Poland in the next two years," said the 65-year-old, asked to comment on his future.
"I'm not so sure it's the moment to discuss it," he added.
Poland lost the very last chance to make it into quarterfinals following Monday's 1-0 defeat by Croatia, having already qualified as group winners before the kick-off.
Poland exit the tournament with two defeats and one draw with co-hosts Austria, who was also eliminated after losing to Germany 1-0 in Monday's other simultaneous Group B match.
"In the three games, apart from some lucky moments," said Beenhakker, "we were not good enough to handle this level."
"I think the only solution is going back to the training pitch and starting practice. Hopefully, after a few years, we are able to compete with strong countries."
