Following recent whispers that Collingwood footy boss Graham Wright may be considering a role with the newly established Tasmanian Devils side, Collingwood FC has announced via a statement that Wright will not be returning to the club after his 5-month-long sabbatical.
On behalf of the club, President Jeff Browne thanked Wright for his “service and contribution” to the club as the Executive General Manager of Football during his colourful tenure with the club.
“Graham has spent over three decades in the elite AFL system—first as a premiership player for Collingwood and then as a much-respected and successful administrator,” he said.
“We have been in constant discussions with Graham during his sabbatical, and both of us have agreed that Graham be free to pursue new opportunities to further develop his already distinguished career.
