Roy Hodgson is leaving everything open regarding his future at Crystal Palace.
The 75 year-old is tied to Palace to June.
"I should leave the options totally open and who knows what will happen," said Hodgson.
"I'm not going to mention the word 'retire'. I don't think I did the first time, I tried not to, but of course it became I assumed that when I left Crystal Palace and didn't look for another job, I was retiring.
"But I'm certainly not going to make that mistake again, because when I went back to Watford, suddenly the talk is, 'he's come out of retirement to do this'."
He continued: "I am enjoying life at the moment.
"All the time I feel capable of working. I will consider offers that come my way.
"But I don't have an agent actively seeking work for me, so people have to find me because I'm not actively canvassing them."
