Paul Roos has ruled out becoming a long-term coach of Melbourne, but may stay in the job for a third year and consider a different role at the club once his time is up.
Having seen "succession planning" for coaches work at Sydney, where he helped prepare John Longmire for the senior job, Roos is convinced that grooming his own replacement will help give the Melbourne players a greater sense of where they and the club are heading when his time is up.
In an interview on the Demons’ website, he indicated he was open to extending his two-year contract for a third season and to remaining at the club beyond 2016.
"In some shape or form I’d like to stay involved in the footy club. I’ve really enjoyed the footy club, I really enjoy the players and maybe some other, different role will come up. But in terms of pure coaching and senior coaching, the three years will see me out," Roos said.
