Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he wants to lead Cardiff City in the Championship next season.
Solskjaer will face questions about his future, after admitting he failed to make the required impact after replacing Malky Mackay but owner Vincent Tan is expected to keep him on.
"If it is up to me, yes, I will still be here at the start of next season," he said. "That is my contract. I have a job as manager of this club and have no reason to think I won't still be manager in August. If I look emotional it is because it affects me every time we lose a game. This defeat has hit me harder than any other in my career.
"There are decisions to be made and plans to be drawn up for getting back up straightaway. We need to be ready for when the season starts in August. We haven't been good enough to stay up, but we hope to keep as many of the important players as possible. Have the players let me down? Did you see the effort and performance they gave? I was proud of them."
