Whittlesea Football Netball Club has announced the appointment of Garry Ramsay as senior coach for the next two seasons.
Ramsay will take the reins in 2024, as the Eagles prepare to return to Division 2 following a winless campaign in the top flight this year.
2023 saw Ramsay take a year off coaching following a four-year stint as coach of Montmorency, where he took the club to a preliminary final last season.
His time at the Magpies came after a strong period at Macleod, which included a premiership success in 2015 as well as four straight grand final appearances between 2015 and 2018.
Ramsay also found success at representative level, helping the NFNL’s senior men’s representative team take No.1 spot on the AFL Victoria Community Championships rankings in 2019.
A club statement said:
