Collingwood assistant coach Scott Burns and former West Coast captain Darren Glass will both join Hawthorn's coaching ranks ahead of the 2018 season.
After playing 264 games for the Pies from 1995-2008, Burns moved to West Coast and became an assistant in 2009, and was one of the favourites for the vacant senior coaching role at the Eagles after John Worsfold stood down in 2013.
Burns then returned to Collingwood as an assistant, and has overseen the midfielder in his time at the club.
Glass currently works as a business strategy consultant in Western Australia, but worked with Adelaide in 2015 as a leadership coach.
The 36-year-old played 270 games for the Eagles over his 15-year career, and won a premiership in 2006.
Burns and Glass join Brett Ratten and Adem Yze as Hawthorn's four assistant coaches for next season.
Hawthorn's General Manager of Football Operations Jason Burt said the club was excited to add two people of such calibre to their assistant coaching ranks.
โBoth Scott and Darren captained their respective clubs during their playing careers and have exceptional leadership skills," Burt told hawthornfc.com.au.
โScott has a wealth of experience as an assistant coach across two respected clubs and we look forward to the new ideas and perspective he brings to our coaching group.
โDarren has followed a slightly different path since retiring from the game and has spent the last couple of years working in the business world.
โHeโs got really strong values and communication skills and we think he will really thrive in the environment here at Hawthorn.
โWe are really excited about what both Scott and Darren bring to the table and we look forward to them starting their roles at the Hawks.โ
