West Coast has added one more coach to the staff, Marco Bello, as the forwards coach, to round out the group for the 2025 season.
The Eagles have undergone many changes off the field, with Andrew McQualter recently named as the senior coach, replacing Adam Simpson and interim mentor Jarrad Schofield, who will remain at the club.
Bello's appointment follows the addition of new Head of Development Jamie Maddocks and club great Shannon Hurn (Development Coach) to the panel.
He'll be working alongside working alongside fellow assistants Schofield (Midfield), Luke Shuey (Stoppages) and Luke Webster (Backs).
Bello crosses from Adelaide, where he was Head of Development, which followed stints at Hawthorn and Box Hill in the VFL.
โWe are really excited Marco is joining the coaching group as our new forward line coach,โ McQualter said.
โHe has a broad range of experience coaching his own team and developing young players and has been involved in successful programs as a player in the SANFL for Central District as well as at Hawthorn.
โIn addition to that, what stood out during the process was that he is a quality person with a strong work ethic who we are confident will be an excellent resource for our playing group.
"We look forward to welcoming Marco and his family to the club next month.
