Australia coach Ange Postecoglou has refused to confirm or deny reports he is planning to quit his post before next year��s World Cup final, even if the Socceroos qualify.
News Corp reported on Wednesday the national team coach would walk away following next month��s final qualifying playoff against Honduras that will determine Australia��s fate.
Postecoglou said he was aware of the reports but insisted his thoughts remained firmly on the upcoming two-legged tie against the team from the Concacaf region.
��My sole focus is on preparing the team for our final two qualifying matches. I will not let anything compromise the team��s journey on getting to a fourth consecutive Fifa World Cup,�� said Postecoglou.
FFA chief executive David Gallop said he had spoken to Postecoglou about the reports and agreed the focus should be on the November matches.
��Beyond that, should we qualify, there is a period of some months until the World Cup and we agreed that we will
