Brad Scott has been appointed Essendon’s new coach on a four-year deal, with the former North Melbourne coach leaving his AFL position immediately to take up the role.
Watch live as Scott and club president David Barham address the media as a new era starts at the Bombers.
“The AFL GM Football is not an easy job to navigate, and we have been so impressed and grateful for Brad’s ability to build relationships throughout the clubs and the wider AFL industry and, where required, make the tough calls for the good of the game,” said league executive football manager Andrew Dillon in a statement on Friday.
“After spending a lot of time with Brad, it has been clear a passion for coaching still burns brightly for him. We are looking forward to seeing him back in the coaches’ box on a match day and Brad will no doubt continue to contribute ideas and insights in his new role.”
