North Melbourne and Alastair Clarkson have parted ways after four seasons together, even with one year remaining on his deal.
Clarkson returned to Arden Street ahead of 2023, and coached the club on 82 occasions for 20 wins.
Surprisingly, the Kangaroos rose from consecutive three-win seasons to nine this year, and were closing in on a Wildcard Round slot, but fell short.
Here are 13 names who could be a part of the North Melbourne conversation...
Interestingly, a lot of these names were part of the Carlton and Essendon coaching process.
Daniel Giansiracusa
The former Bulldog has been pushing for senior coaching roles, but has fallen short.
Giansiracusa has expanded his horizons and undertaken multiple different roles at Essendon and Hawthorn.
He spent six seasons at the Bombers, helping guide the backline and midfield. He claimed the AFL Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2020.
Giansiracusa was among the Carlton and Essendon process, but remained at Hawthorn as the head of development in 2026.
