"The Adelaide Football Club has appointed Scott Camporeale as interim Senior Coach for the remainder of the season.

The Crows have also hired a Coaching Director with former West Coast premiership mentor John Worsfold taking on a full-time role in 2015. Camporeale, who has been at the Crows since 2011, served as Senior Assistant under Phil Walsh who sadly passed away on Friday.

The Club continues to offer counselling to its players, coaches and staff in the wake of the tragedy.

Crows Chief Executive Officer Andrew Fagan said Camporeale is a respected figure with an astute football brain.

“Nine months ago we set out on a journey with Phil Walsh at the helm,” Fagan said.

“We are all determined to continue pushing down that path, guided by his values of elite standards, hard work, attention to detail and a team-first attitude.

“Scott is well supported by David Teague, Darren Milburn and Matthew Clarke, and now John Worsfold adds further experience and insight.”

There was a need to add to the coaching panel following the shuffle of portfolios with Camporeale stepping up from overseeing the midfield.

Fagan approached Worsfold on Sunday.

“John is a premiership coach who already has an understanding of our football program given he was briefly here on Walshy’s invitation earlier this year,” he said.

“We are thrilled that he has agreed to join our Club for the remainder of this season.”

Well done Woosha. Given he had stated he wouldn't step into a major coaching roll it seems like he has gone against his better instincts out of respect for Walshy. Very impressed and very happy that he has come to help.

Also very impressed with the AFC by acting so quickly and making a great decision in such a short time frame and given the difficult circumstances

Well Done!
 
good on ya woosha but still really wish we wouldn't discuss this.:cry::cry:
I know how you feel and everyone deals with these things in their own way and own time. The club has to move on and has some really good people at the helm to steer us through this.
 
Major respect to Worsfold. Do you guys know if he approached you guys or if the club asked if he could help out? Either way well done, not only on the appointments, but the way the club as a whole has handled the situation. You guys should be proud. :thumbsu:

I reckon a bit of both. I hope Woosha stays for a year or two help...

Article says Fagen approached him yesterday but couldnt have taken him too long to say yes if we have announced it this morning.

Really weird as a collingwood supporter....ill be cheering for you guys for the rest of the year (with the exception of when you guys play us) ill be hoping you can do Walsh proud and with Worsha on board its a big step in that direction.
thanks. I suspect that we will become everyone's second team for a while.
