Greater Western Sydney chief executive David Matthews says Paul Roos is a million to one chance to ever coach the AFL club.

While Kevin Sheedy is expected to remain in the top job next season, there has been speculation the Giants have the 2005 Sydney premiership coach as their top target for 2014.

But Matthews said he doubted Roos could be lured back to coaching and, if he was, it was unlikely to be at the Giants.

“Because people are often questioning what our succession plan to Kevin Sheedy will be, they naturally link Paul to that job like they do to every other job in the competition,” Matthews told Melbourne radio station 3AW on Saturday.

“I honestly think Paul Roos would be a million to one to coach the Giants – partly because I think he’s on record as saying he’s not ready to coach again.

“But also because he’s on record as probably questioning the overall strategy the AFL has with the Giants.”

While Sheedy is yet to be officially locked in for next year, Matthews indicated that would happen and said the Giants were also confident of retaining Mark Williams as his senior assistant.

“That would be my expectation,” Matthews said.

“He’s got a contract for a year to go as the senior assistant coach.

“We haven’t finalised anything with Kevin just yet but, when we do finalise things with Kevin, we’ll then talk to Mark … I see no reason why he’d go elsewhere.”

Matthews said the Giants, who have two wins this season, would be chasing five victories next year and would need to recruit some more experienced players to reach that target.

But he said they would be more in line with seasoned veteran recruits such as Chad Cornes and Luke Power than a marquee player like Collingwood’s Travis Cloke.

“I don’t think it’s actually a necessity to get maturity that you’ve got to go for a really high-priced uncontracted player,” he said.
