Four-time AFL premiership coach Alastair Clarkson has chosen North Melbourne as the club he will lead in 2023
North Melbourne
North president Sonja Hood said she was delighted to announce Clarkson’s appointment on a five-season deal. The 54-year-old will start with North on 1 November, taking over from interim coach Leigh Adams.“This is a real watershed moment for our club and I am writing to share it with members first – we’ll talk to media later today, but for now this is a moment for all of us,” Hood said in a statement.
Clarkson will be North’s fourth full-time coach in five years after David Noble was sacked in July following less than two seasons in charge. Clarkson met with North and GWS, before this week telling the Giants he wanted to remain in Melbourne instead of relocating to Sydney. The Kangaroos had been exclusively dealing with Clarkson since Noble’s exit six weeks ago and were in the box-seat.
