West Coast Eagles assistant coach Jarrad Schofield will be the interim senior coach of the club after the departure of Adam Simpson today.

While Simpson has the option of a farewell game against Brisbane on Sunday, Schofield will assume senior coaching responsibilities as required.

“We believe Jarrad is the best option for us to complete the 2024 season as acting senior coach,” CEO Don Pyke said.

“He has extensive coaching experience in his own right as a three-time premiership coach at Subiaco, as an assistant coach at Port Adelaide and is currently our midfield coach.”
