Nigel Worthington is keen to extend his reign as Northern Ireland manager providing he has satisfactory talks with the Irish Football Association.
Worthington's final game before his contract expires at the end of the year was Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Serbia in a friendly at Windsor Park.
He is now due to hold talks with the IFA president Raymond Kennedy and chief executive Patrick Nelsen about a new deal, convinced the province are making good progress.
Worthington said: ‘When the president is available we will sit down and have a chat. Hopefully that might be over the course of the next fortnight or whenever.
‘I have enjoyed it. If everything is right, yes I would like to stay on. I feel we have come on in leaps and bounds. People can see we are trying to play good football and that is important to me.’
