West Coast Eagles list manager Darren Glass has resigned from the role, as first reported by AFL Media's Mitch Cleary.
It comes just two months out from the start of the 2021 AFL season as the 39-year old opts to take up a job outside of footy.
The Eagles confirmed Glass' departure in a statement on Thursday afternoon, with the 2006 premiership defender and former skipper reportedly informing the club of his decision last week.
โWhilst only with us as List Manager for just over a year, Darren has done a great job in what was a very difficult year in the AFL,โ West Coast General Manager of Football Craig Vozzo told the club website.
โHis sharp wit and unique humour will be missed around the Football Department, but will serve him well in his future pursuits.
โOn behalf of the club, I take this opportunity to thank Darren for his efforts and to wish him, Alicia and the children all the very best of health and prosperity for the future.โ
Glass thanked the club for the opportunity and experience and believes they are well positioned moving forward.
โI want to thank CEO Trevor Nisbett and General Manager โ Football Craig Vozzo for the opportunity to return to the club I love as List Manager,โ Glass said.
โIt has been a fantastic learning curve over the past 14 months which has allowed me to grow and develop my skillset.
โWhile it is with some sadness that I leave the club where I spent my entire playing career, I am confident West Coast is strongly positioned for now and into the future.
โIโm looking forward to supporting Adam Simpson and the players from afar while I start a fresh chapter in my professional life.โ
Glass was as a leadership coach at Adelaide in 2015 and an assistant Hawthorn from 2018-2019 before returning to West Coast as list boss.
The triple club champion and four-time All Australian played 270 AFL games from 2000-2014.
West Coast great Darren Glass has quit his position as Eagles list manager.
