"Football Association of Wales president Steve Williams has moved quickly to remove doubts over Page's future.
Williams said: "The FAW can confirm Rob Page is their manager for the forthcoming campaign in accordance with his contract.
"Rob is the manager. His contract runs to the end of the World Cup and that is how we continue to work." "

Could be worse, we could be stuck with Southgate.
For the best me thinks if that report is true
He appears to have the players playing for him and plays the right way too a bit like Bulut in many ways but sadly for us we haven't got the quality that Page has at his disposal
Yeah I guess Coleman was hardly a great manager was he? I guess many might say he didn’t need to be with the squad he had and a star like bale…
A mistake giving Page a contract beyond the Euros as there is no market for his services other than Wales so they could have waited until the end of the Euro qualifying campaign before making a decision.
an insight how page utilises Keiffer in certain games . here an example exactly what he did last night and tactics generally . Hi Knows the game inside out a coaching masterclass video here to explain .

Croatia and Finland result has probably helped him.
Dreadful world cup and dropping 5 points to Armenia, probably should now that we haven't qualified see him moved on.
Was madness giving him that contract.
I suppose the pool of Welsh managers who we could afford after paying him off isn't too deep.
Nor should he go , decent lad, doing a decent job. Wales did extremely well to get where the did without the big old stars of the past.
Yesterday will be a massive leaning curve for those Welsh youngsters, if they don't kick on to better things after that result, perhaps they were not likely to progress any further as individuals and a team.
Irrelevant whether he's a decent lad, and you set a very low bar if you think he's doing a decent job. Time and time again Page's selection and tactics have been found wanting. When he does stumble across a plan that works (Finland) he promptly abandons it (Poland).
Steve Williams is in a largely ceremonial position. Noel Mooney has all the power. Considering they 100% talked to Roy Keane, and the fact Mooney and Page clearly don't like each other, I don't think Page will be in charge for much longer. That or they're completely skint because Mooney has run the FAW into the ground.
What would happen if we had a talented manager ?
That's what I'd be asking myself.
The last euros were dire. The World Cup was a complete embarrassment. This qualifying campaign was ultimately a failure. He ****ed it against Armenia.
I don't see what he is trying to build exactly. I don't see any direction or coherence.
His philosophy is to nick a goal and hope we can hold on. Or at least that's what it feels like.
