Diego Maradona has threatened to quit as coach of the Argentine national team less than a year after taking the post.
The 48-year-old will hold talks with Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona after the coming World Cup qualifiers.
"If I continue it will be under my conditions," said Maradona.
Argentina lie fifth in their regional standings with two qualifiers remaining and could face a play-off to reach next summer's finals.
Maradona has come under pressure following a run of poor results including a 6-1 drubbing by Bolivia in March since succeeding Alfio Basile last November.
Three successive defeats by Ecuador, Brazil and Paraguay have left Argentina fifth in the South American standings and in serious danger of failing to qualify for South Africa.
Much of the blame has been placed on Maradona, who has been criticised for a perceived lack of team strategy and selection consistency.
However, Maradona has said he may quit even if his side make the World Cup finals.
