North Melbourne have confirmed Brad Scott has stepped aside as coach of the Roos, effective immediately.

Scott has coached the Roos since 2010, leading them to back-to-back preliminary finals in 2014 and 2015.

He'll finish his time at North Melbourne with a 106-105 coaching record, with the club's win over the Western Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon meaning he would end his coaching tenure at Arden Street with a positive win-loss record.

In a press conference on Sunday, North Melbourne chairman Ben Buckley confirmed Rhyce Shaw would be the club's caretaker coach for the remainder of the 2019 season.

Buckley confirmed the Kangaroos will begin their search for a new head coach immediately, while also announcing a review of the football club is being undertaken.
