Greensborough Football Netball Club has announced that senior men’s coach Saade Ghazi will not continue in the role in season 2024.
The decorated VFA/VFL legend joined the club ahead of the 2022 campaign after spending time with Williamstown’s VFL side, as well as WRFL club Altona and Avondale Heights in the EDFL.
His time at the Boro was Ghazi’s second stint as a senior coach in the NFNL, after spending three seasons as a playing coach with Epping between 2001 and 2003.
Ghazi took the Boro to a Melbourne Greyhounds Division 1 elimination final in 2022, but just missed out on back-to-back finals appearances this year, as Greensborough finished in sixth position with an 9-9 record.
