Rob Page has confirmed his Wales contract runs through until the end of his side's World Cup campaign.
The 47-year-old has taken charge of the Red Dragons since Ryan Giggs was arrested in November 2020, with the former Manchester United player due to face trial at Manchester Crown Court in August after being accused of causing actual bodily harm to his former partner Kate Greville and assault by beating of her sister in an alleged incident outside his Greater Manchester home. Giggs, who denies all charges against him, is also accused of coercive and controlling behaviour against his ex-girlfriend. Read the latest on Giggs and his trial date here.
Under Page, Wales gained promotion in the Nations League and also secured World Cup qualification for the first time in 64 years, having also played at Euro 2020 last summer. The current head coach is now set to take his country into the Qatar tournament, with Wales facing the United States of America, Iran and England in the group stages of the global showpiece.

Now, fresh from his side's 1-0 play-off final win over Ukraine at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, Page has confirmed he currently has a contract with the Football Association of Wales until the end of the World Cup.
"My contract... at the end of the game last night, if it hadn't gone our way, I would have been out of contract," Page told Sky Sports. "I would have been stood here without a contract.
"That's not the case because we have qualified, so that naturally gets extended now. So, yeah, my contract has extended to whatever stage we go out at in the World Cup."
Wales face the USA in their group stage opener on November 21 before facing Iran four days later. They round off the group stage against England on November 29.
