Richmond has announced a fresh contract extension for coach Adem Yze, who is now tied to the Tigers until the end of 2028.
Yze has penned a two-year deal that will take him through to the end of his fifth season at Punt Road, having first joined the club ahead of its 2024 campaign.
In his time as senior coach of Richmond, Yze has won seven of 46 matches, having steered the club through a rebuild period over the past 12 months.
"Adem is a highly driven coach who is crystal clear with his plans, communication, and expectations of how he wants the game to be played," Richmond CEO Shane Dunne said in a club statement.
"He has elite personal qualities, has built strong relationships over the past two years, and has a shared hunger for success with the playing group.
"Adem's excellent understanding of AFL strategy and his sharp knowledge of the game are major assets, and they will continue to shine in the coming years.
"We are really excited about what is to come and look forward to seeing Adem continue to lead the group and this Club into our next period of AFL success."
Yze's 46 games in charge of the Tigers follow a one-game coaching stint in 2022 with Melbourne in the absence of Simon Goodwin.
The 48-year-old was also a club icon at the Demons as a player, booting 234 goals in 271 games across a career that spanned 1995-2008.
Richmond's 2026 campaign, which will be Yze's third at Tigerland, will get underway on Thursday, March 12, at the MCG against Carlton.
