Dual Glenelg premiership coach Darren Reeves will depart the club to take on an AFL Assistant Coach role with Port Adelaide.<\/p>\n
While his contract was recently extended until 2028, Glenelg today said the significant and attractive long-term coaching offer from PAFC late last week was \u201ctoo good an opportunity to refuse\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been fortunate and honoured to have the opportunity to coach the Glenelg Football Club over the last three years,\u201d outgoing coach Reeves said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe successes aside, the relationships and friendships that I can take away are amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst the opportunity that has come with Port Adelaide was hard not to accept, I am confident in where the Glenelg Football Club is at, and what the future holds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful to all our players and football staff for their support and look forward to watching the progress continue over the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glenelg CEO Justin Scripps said:<\/p>\n
\u201cLike all of us, our members and fans will be disappointed at losing one of the best and most successful coaches in Glenelg\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarren has left a legacy at our club that will transcend his time here. He has built a highly connected squad of players and a high-performance culture, which will sustain our club for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joining Great of Glenelg Graham Cornes as only the second mentor to guide the club to back-to-back premierships in his first two seasons, Reeves steered the club into second place after the minor round with a 15-3 win-loss record.<\/p>\n
He guided Glenelg to its third Hostplus SANFL League grand final appearance in three years in 2025, with the Bays falling at the final hurdle to Sturt.<\/p>\n
Glenelg will commence the recruitment process immediately in preparation for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"29 September 2025 By ALEXANDRA BULL Dual Glenelg premiership coach Darren Reeves will depart the club to take…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-177962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
