Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer nearly quit in the wake of the Oval ball-tampering fiasco.
Woolmer, who has coached Pakistan since June 2004, was annoyed his side was penalised five runs and then ruled to have forfeited the fourth Test with England.
"Throughout this whole affair I have remained solidly behind the Pakistan team and captain," he told the BBC.
"I did contemplate resigning as I am 58 and at an age where I do not need these things in my career and life.
"I was very down at the time but I feel it is important now to stay strong at this time.
"I have always been 100 percent with the team and the captain."
Former England batsmen Woolmer said he felt very down at the time but he must now stay strong and be committed with the team
Newspaper reports hinted Woolmer had fallen out with captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and team manager Zaheer Abbas.
However, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan said the team remained in good spirits.
"There may be a few emotions flaring up considering the current scenario but nothing serious," he said.
Pakistan was incensed by the decision of umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove to award England five penalty runs and allow its batsmen to choose a replacement after becoming suspicious with the condition of the ball.
When Pakistan failed to come back after tea, the officials ruled they had forfeited the game. This is the first such occurrence in 129 years of Test cricket.
