Scott Pendlebury has moved to clarify his future at Collingwood, saying he will remain a one-club player before considering coaching opportunities at other clubs.

The Magpies skipper, who is in negotiations over a one-year contract extension, was asked at the weekend if he would consider a move like former Hawthorn champion Sam Mitchell, who played his final season at West Coast before moving into a coaching role at the Eagles.

"If a club wants to offer me future coaching gigs, for a couple of years' time I'll have a look at it. But playing wise, I'm pretty confident (I'll stay at Collingwood)," he told Triple M radio on Sunday.

But on Monday, Pendlebury reiterated his desire to finish his playing career as a Magpie.

"Sorry for any confusion. Just to clear it up - I want to be a one-club player and finish my career at Collingwood," he tweeted.

"I'm open to coaching at another club AFTER my playing days. Collingwood Fam, I'm not going anywhere."

The 33-year-old, who has played a record 334 games for the Magpies, said on Sunday that he understood his contract was lower down the club's list of priorities but he remained confident a deal would be done.

"There's an offer on the table from last week, and I'm confident something will happen in the short-term," Pendlebury said on Sunday.

"But as I said a couple of times throughout the year, it's obviously been a pretty big year for our club. We've had a change of coach, we're trying to find a new coach, we've had COVID and half the staff aren't in the building so these things are taking longer than normal."
