AIFF's technical committee yesterday entrusted its general secretary Kushal Das with the task of communicating with Constantine regarding his future in India. The final decision on the matter will be taken by AIFF president Praful Patel.
"A final decision is yet to arrive. He (Constantine) may get a one-year extension if he is to continue. But this is not the final decision," a source involved in the matter told PTI.
However, there was no discussion on any replacement candidate for Constantine, whose second term as Indian coach ends in February.
A section of the AIFF, however, is keen on replacing him at the earliest and give his successor enough time to get acclimatised ahead of India's qualifying round play-off matches for the 2019 Asia Cup in February.
He guided India to the SAFF Championship glory - the team beat Afghanistan 1-0 in the final - in January 2016. The AIFF, though, was far from impressed with the team's overall results under Constantine.
The coach's performance was discussed in the meeting yesterday.
