Michael Voss says he wants to be a head coach again, but he is undecided whether he'll pitch for the vacant head coaching jobs at North Melbourne and Carlton.

Voss, currently a Port Adelaide assistant coach, says he's better prepared for the role now than when appointed as Brisbane's head coach in 2009.

He held the Lions' coaching job for five years but says his decorated playing career with Brisbane helped land him that job.

"More my name won me me first role. I'm hoping that skill sets win me my second," Voss told reporters on Tuesday.
