John Mitchell would be open to taking charge of the inaugural British and Irish Lions women's tour to New Zealand in 2027.
Mitchell has become a front-runner for the role after masterminding England's first World Cup triumph since 2014 following a 33-13 victory over Canada at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
The Lions are to play three Tests against Mitchell's native New Zealand, as well as some tour games, with their squad likely to be dominated by the Red Roses.
"If that ever did come along then it's definitely something I would consider," Mitchell said.
"The Lions is a huge honour. It will be the first ever women's Lions as well. I can still remember as a kid at high school when I met the 1977 Lions in assembly.
"They have always been a part of my life. I would get up in the early hours of the morning to watch them, or they have come to my country when I was living in New Zealand and you understand how they play an important part in our rugby."
Mitchell is contracted to lead England through the next Six Nations and he would be open to extending his stay until the next World Cup in 2029 if the circumstances are right.
"I love the job and I would love to do it again, but I also have to consider a lot of things. I have firstly got to do a Six Nations," he said.
"I have to link up with the players in November and make sure that physically and rugby-wise they are focusing on the right things.
"In January we need to go on a road trip and check out every girl's 'why' and their goals for the next cycle. That is really important to understand who we are going to invest in for the next cycle.
"We will have to consider girls who will focus on the Lions as well. We have to make sure the Lions don't get in the way of our four-year cycle.
"There are a whole load of factors that I need to understand first before you get a 100 per cent from me."
Meanwhile, Mitchell also declared his world champions will seek new summits to scale once celebrations over seizing New Zealand's crown have subsided.
Their winning run now reads a record 33 consecutive victories and they have lost just once in 64 Tests, against the Black Ferns in the 2022 showpiece. Mitchell, however, insists there is more to come.
"We're no different to most explorers in the world. They always find another peak to climb and I think we will," said Mitchell, who replaced Simon Middleton as head coach in 2023.
"These girls are driven. They've changed my life and the way I think. A trophy is one thing, a medal is another, but the value and the quality of the people you work with is the ultimate."
Zoe Aldcroft, only the fourth England captain to lift a World Cup, insists her team is driven by more than success as the sport looks to build on a tournament that administrators have described as "transformational".
A crowd of 81,885 crammed into Twickenham, setting a new record for the women's game, and Aldcroft believes the value of a memorable afternoon will also be felt in the years to come.
"After we've had our celebrations, this chapter will close and then it's about bringing in the next generation of Red Roses," Aldcroft said.
"We'll get a fresh group of Red Roses into the squad and that's what keeps us fresh and keeps us chasing. We're very competitive people and we want to be at the top of our game always.
"We've won the World Cup but in a few weeks' time we'll be back at our clubs and wanting to fight for them.
"The drive to keep pushing and getting better never stops. We always want to keep pushing limits. We have so many more people to inspire.
"Earlier in the summer we saw the Lionesses and that gave us the inspiration to do our part.
"We've wanted to inspire young girls by both seeing them on shoulders in the stadium and inspiring them to go to rugby clubs and pick up a ball and become future Red Roses."
Second row Abbie Ward hopes the support received during the World Cup will continue into the Six Nations and beyond.
"Anyone who came to the final is going to come back. Whether you're a die hard Red Roses fan or that was your first occasion, it was unbelievable," Ward said.
"Getting off the bus was a moment we will never forget. Let's see that again, let's have that in the Six Nations against Ireland. That atmosphere was unmatched. Bring it on!"
