Gareth Southgate says he has "loved" taking charge of England on an interim basis but has chosen to remain coy on his long-term future with the Three Lions.
Southgate was handed the job in the wake of Sam Allardyce's departure and has led England to seven points from a possible nine in his three competitive games at the helm.
Scotland were swatted aside courtesy of a 3-0 scoreline at Wembley tonight with headers from Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill proving to be enough to deny Gordon Strachan's spirited side.
England sit top of Group F - two points clear of nearest challengers Slovenia - and are on course to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
The FA are set to decide on Allardyce's permanent successor after next week's friendly against Spain but Southgate is keen for all parties to have a period of reflection.
"I'm going to enjoy tonight," he told ITV. "I was asked to take the job for four games and keep the country at the top of the group.
"Tonight was an important moment. It was important the team came through a pressure game and won and had a feeling of what that was like, especially at Wembley.
"I want time to go away and reflect at the end of this fortnight.
"I've loved doing it but I think it's an opportunity for everybody to have some time and the FA can decide what they want to do.
"I'm just content we've won the game tonight - that was the most important thing."
Scotland's own chances of qualification are now in doubt but they were unfortunate not to breach England's sloppy defence.
The visitors squandered several opportunities while England were clinical but Southgate has rejected the notion that scoring three unanswered goals flattered his side.
"No - I don't think so in terms of our attacking play," he insisted.
"We caused some problems for ourselves. We want the team to play out from the back and at times we were sloppy.

"It's an area we can improve, we encouraged Scotland to press. But some of our use of the ball once we had got through that phase of the field was fantastic.
"The team in an attacking sense played with balance, interchangeable positions and they managed the game reasonably well," the 46-year-old added.
England's next qualifier is not until March 2017 when they host Lithuania at Wembley four days after an international friendly against Germany.
