Brett Ratten has won the St Kilda coaching job.
The former Carlton coach becomes the third man to go from caretaker to full-time coach this season, joining North Melbourne’s Rhyce Shaw and Carlton’s David Teague.
Ratten won the race ahead of two Collingwood assistants, Saints great Robert Harvey and Justin Longmuir, who is one of the two main contenders for the vacant Fremantle job.
Seven’s Tom Browne reported the Saints’ coaching subcommittee formed its recommendation for Ratten to be the next coach within the past 24 hours.
The club board was ratifying the decision on Thursday evening and Ratten looks likely to be officially announced as the new coach as soon as Friday morning.
Ratten took over after the sacking of Alan Richardson with six rounds to go this season, leading the Saints to three wins and three losses as interim boss.
He coached Carlton for five full seasons from 2008 to 2012, as well as six games in 2007.
