Wales needed to beat the Republic of Ireland in order to reach the World Cup play-offs, but it is Martin O'Neill's side who will contest those fixtures in November after James McClean's goal gave them victory in Cardiff.
It was a crushing end to the campaign for Wales, whose last appearance at a World Cup was in 1958.
Coleman, who was appointed in 2012 and led his country to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, has a contract with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) until next summer.
"There's a chance I can [stay] and a chance I won't. I can't give an answer right now," he added after what was Wales' first loss since the 2-0 defeat by Portugal in the Euro 2016 semi-finals.
"It's not just a matter of signing a new contract. The FAW has been great with me - I asked them to leave me alone as my contract has been running down and all the questions were getting asked.
"I wanted to concentrate on getting results. There'll be a conversation in due course, there's a friendly next month.
"My contract is until the summer but, right now, I'm thinking about the experience. I'll go back to my family and take a bit of time. When the dust settles we'll see where we go."
