Laurent Blanc says he could sign a contract renewal with Paris Saint-Germain by the end of the week.
It had been reported at the start of the season that PSG could part company with Blanc should the club miss out on winning the Champions League.
But Blanc dismissed such claims and, after watching his side beat Lyon 3-0 to reach the Coupe de France quarterfinals Wednesday, he told France 3: "If this must be done in the coming days, it will be by the end of week."
Pressed on the issue, Blanc said he could sign the contract by Thursday morning.
PSG faces Lille in Ligue 1 on Saturday before meeting Chelsea for the first leg of a Champions League round of 16 clash three days later.
Asked about PSG's busy schedule, Blanc said: "If you speak to me about the calendar, I'm best avoided. Victory softens things. For the return match in the Champions League, we know the solution, but I have a team of players who want to win everything and I'm a coach who wants to win everything. There are no solutions, so we make do."
