In a bombshell, Richmond has confirmed that Damien Hardwick will have a new relationship with a member of the club’s administrative staff in just a few weeks after the announcement that he had separated from his wife.
The Herald Sun received a statement from the club on Monday after rumors about the longtime trainer spread throughout the Footy community.
« The club is aware that coach Damien Hardwick is currently in a relationship with a member of the club’s administrative staff, » the statement said.
« The club has no concerns about this under club policy. In addition, it is a private matter and we ask that you respect your privacy. «
However, there were also reports that the scandal had rocked staff within the club and could affect the playgroup.
One of the AFL’s most successful coaches, 48-year-old Hardwick has led the Tigers to three premierships over the past four years, including last year’s triumph over the Cats. However, Hardwick announced that final season took its toll personally.
« I’ll be taking a slightly longer break this summer this summer, » Hardwick told 3AW.
« In three to four years it was pretty busy and we did a hell of a job and had a lot of success, but sometimes you have to step back. «
Last year it was announced that Damien and wife Danielle had split up despite spending a brief stint in the COVID bubble on the Gold Coast while Victoria was under pressure from the pandemic.
Often referred to as « Mrs Hardwick » by the Premier League-winning coach, Danielle has stood by her husband through an incredibly successful career in football, the Flags playing with Essendon and Port Adelaide and three others coaching Richmond included.
