Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson has affirmed his commitment to coach out his contract, until Sam Mitchell takes over at the end of next season.
The four-time premiership mastermind set aside the start of his Thursday morning press conference to respond to speculation of tension with Mitchell.
“It’s a little bit disappointing it’s had to transpire the way it has… it should be a really exciting period for he and us as a club,” Clarkson began.
“Even for me despite transitioning out of the senior role at the club, I couldn’t be more delighted in the sense that another product of our football club is going to be a senior coach in the AFL.”
