Ioan Cunningham says he is fully committed to his role as Wales women's head coach after being linked to another job.
Cunningham is contracted to take Wales to the World Cup in October, but there are reports he will leave after to take charge of Wales men's under-20s.
But he insists no conversations have taken place about his future.
"I have spoken to the squad and my 100% commitment is to this group," he said.
"I love working with the players and staff. We are learning, we are getting better all the time and my full attention is with the Wales women team."
Wales captain Siwan Lillicrap said the players have been reassured by Cunningham and his management as they prepare to take on France in their latest Six Nations game on Friday.
"Ioan and the management's commitment is absolutely with us at the moment and they are doing a great job," she said.
"We are grateful for the honesty."
