Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy has hinted that he could take up a new role at another AFL club next season.

The Bombers announced this week that this will be the last of Sheedy's 27 seasons in charge of the club.

Asked about his future coaching prospects, Sheedy was typically cryptic in suggesting there could be a new position created for him at another club.

"There'll be a different position available maybe in the next few months and we'll look at all of those sorts of things, there's a little bit of landscape developing," Sheedy told the Nine Network's AFL Footy Show.

He said his experience gained at the Bombers could prove useful elsewhere.

"I think that clubs are going to need experienced people around and I think in the end, to be quite honest, Melbourne clubs are in more trouble, I think, a little bit then perhaps interstate clubs," he said.

"So you just need a little bit of experience around some footy clubs."
