Munster coach Anthony Foley insists no decision has been made on whether he will take up the option of a one-year contract extension with the province.
Foley's two-year term as head coach ends this summer, but the former Munster and Ireland number eight has the option of remaining in charge for another season.
Munster have enjoyed a disappointing season under Foley as they were dumped out of the Champions Cup in the pool stages and currently languish in seventh place in the Guinness Pro12.
Foley revealed that he met with Munster CEO Garrett Fitzgerald on Tuesday to discuss his future but says he is not yet in a position to make an announcement.
"Nothing has been confirmed there as yet," Foley said. "I sat down with Garrett (Fitzgerald) this morning and when there's something to be announced it will be announced."
Munster have lost their last two games, against Ospreys and Glasgow Warriors, to lose further ground in the Pro12 but Foley insists his side have had poor luck rather than been guilty of poor performance.
Foley insisted: "If we were playing poorly, I would say yes, but we're creating a lot of opportunities.
"You go back to the Ospreys game when we didn't get a penalty shot at goal and against Glasgow when we had one penalty shot at goal.
"In terms of where we are to get points at the moment, it has to be through tries. We've scored three in our last two games so.
"A side that can do that and not avail of points from elsewhere is going ok but not getting the results they require."
