The North Melbourne Football Club has decided to part ways with senior coach Alastair Clarkson.
The club informed Clarkson of its position on Tuesday following a consultation period with football department staff and players at the conclusion of the AFL premiership season.
“We asked Alastair to give our club stability and strength and help return us to the top of the AFL ladder,” Club President Dr Sonja Hood AM said.
“Four years later, we have created an environment where our staff and players want to be at our club. This is a testament to the culture Alastair has helped create and the belief that he has built in this group.
“Although we have clearly made progress and won more games, we won't shy away from our desire to want more from this talented group.
“We are incredibly grateful to Alastair for the work he’s done over the last four years and we wish him all the very best for his next chapter.”
The club will now undertake a process to appoint our next senior coach.
Club president Dr Sonja Hood AM and general manager of football Todd Viney will speak at a press conference at the club later on Wednesday.
