Former Collingwood defender, Alan Richardson, will rejoin the Magpies as Player Development Coach.
Richardson played for the Pies from 1987-88 and 1990-96, playing 114 games, and was desperately unlucky to miss the 1990 grand final through injury. In his first role as a senior coach he led East Burwood to successive flags in the Eastern Football League (1999 and 2000) , and has since gone on to strengthen his reputation with roles at Richmond, Coburg and the Bulldogs.
Richardson will join the Magpies from the Western Bulldogs before the commencement of pre-season training in mid October, and Collingwood’s General Manager of Football Operation, Neil Blame, was delighted to welcome back the Collingwood Life Member, in a role which will see a greater focus on the long term development of our younger players, while being involved in the holistic development of every member of the squad.
“Alan’s role will directly relate to the playing development of all of our players and in particular the younger players.
“Simon Lloyd will remain as the High-Performance Manager, with more focus on the list proper. This will allow Simon to spend more time in his role as Sport Psychologist, while continue to support the development of the younger players.
“Alan’s role will focus on the longer term, year-to-year development of the players, as opposed to the week-to-week development.
“We’ve always had a really good feel for the type of person that Alan is and he has done some really good work at both Richmond and Coburg, and the Bulldogs, and had senior coaching experience.”
