Muscat says speculation around the Socceroos coaching role is just that; speculation and should be avoided as the national team gears up for next month's World Cup qualifying showdown with Honduras.

A sensational report after the Socceroos' defeat of Syria last week suggested Postecoglou could walk from the job even if he becomes the first Australian coach to qualify the team for a World Cup.

The report cited sources close to Postecoglou, without quoting the 52-year-old himself.

FFA has declined all media requests for Postecoglou, with chief executive David Gallop failing to rule out the prospect of the four-time national league winner leaving Australian soccer's top job.

It's an extraordinary situation that could be cleared up by a clear-the-air statement from Postecoglou.

But in the absence of that, Muscat said it should be business as usual with the Socceroos.

"I'm a bit bored of this," he said on Thursday morning.

"Somebody said there was consideration. So we're going off speculation."

Muscat's A-League rival John Aloisi, sees fire where there is smoke - taking Postecoglou's silence as confirmation of his looming departure.

But like his coaching counterpart, the Brisbane Roar boss says the priority must be on beating Honduras.

"I presume with them keeping quiet that means after these two games that he is not going to be there," he said.

"If he does (walk away) he has his reasons. All we can do is support the Socceroos and Ange while we try to qualify.

"I don't think the discussion should be when they announce it. Let's qualify, let's get behind the Socceroos."

Muscat dismissed the suggestion that players -- who have backed and implemented Postecoglou's revolutionary possession-based style -- would be unsettled by the situation.

"If it's going to affect anybody, well it's affected (media) more than it's going to affect the players," he said.

"It's affected everyone else more so than the players and, I dare say, the coaching staff and the FFA."

Muscat and Postecoglou share a close friendship and a similar coaching philosophy.

In 2013, Muscat succeeded Postecoglou as Victory coach. The pair are regularly sighted on the sidelines together in the lead-up to matches.

Postecoglou invited Muscat to be an assistant coach at June's Confederations Cup in Russia.

Muscat coaches Socceroos Mark Milligan and James Troisi at club level.

Postecoglou is due to name a 30-man squad next Wednesday ahead of the first leg of the intercontinental playoff against Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Saturday November 11.
