Collingwood AFLW Senior Coach Sam Wright has announced he will step down from his role after leading the program for the past three seasons.
This Sunday’s Round 12 match against Essendon at Windy Hill will be Wright’s final game as Senior Coach.
Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly said:
“On behalf of the Collingwood Football Club, we thank Sam for his contribution over the past three seasons.
“Sam has led our AFLW program with genuine care and we will recognise his contribution following our final game of the season this weekend.
“We recognise the significant commitment the Senior Coach role requires and we thank not only Sam, but also his partner Georgia, for her support. We wish Sam and his family every success in their next chapter.”
Sam Wright said:
“It has been a privilege to serve the AFLW program at Collingwood.
“I will always look back on my time at the Pies with gratitude, and I want to thank every player, coach, staff member and supporter I’ve shared this journey with.
“While these decisions are never easy, I know it is the right one for my family and the football program as we move forward.
“I look forward to coaching the group this Sunday and I wish them all the very best for the future – I leave knowing Collingwood is committed to driving its AFLW program forward.”
