In a stunning development just minutes ago, Chris Scott, the current head coach of the Geelong Football Club, has officially submitted his resignation letter, ending his tenure with the club effective immediately.
Sources close to the situation confirm that Scott has agreed to terms on a lucrative four-year contract worth $20 million, though the identity of his new club has not yet been formally announced. League insiders suggest that multiple organizations had been aggressively pursuing the premiership-winning coach over recent weeks.
Scott, who guided Geelong to multiple finals appearances and a premiership during his time at the helm, informed players and staff earlier today in what has been described as an emotional closed-door meeting at GMHBA Stadium.
In a brief statement, Scott thanked the club, players, and supporters:
“It has been an incredible journey with Geelong. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful for the unwavering support from the Cats community.”
