The Board of the North Melbourne Football Club has decided that Alastair Clarkson will commence as senior coach on November 1.
Club president Dr Sonja Hood said the Board is confident Clarkson can fulfill his duties with North Melbourne while he co-operates with the independent investigation into allegations of racism at the Hawthorn Football Club between 2008 and 2016.
“We support the process to provide a voice for all parties. That includes former Hawthorn players and their families, as well as former coaches and staff, including Alastair,” Dr Hood said.
“The Board came to its decision after consulting with a range of stakeholders.”
The club will not provide any further comment at this time.
