WEST COAST has approached three-time Brisbane premiership captain Michael Voss to be an assistant coach for the next two years.
The move comes after Eagles directors recently voted to strengthen support for senior coach John Worsfold.
If Voss declines their offer, they will approach recently retired captains Nathan Buckley, then Mark Ricciuto for roles.
The Eagles don't expect Voss to be a long-term assistant coach as he remains the hot favourite to be the senior coach of the Gold Coast in 2011, which is the year they officially join the AFL.
A senior West Coast source said the nation-wide search for the best football staff is "all about helping Worsfold to continue to grow as a long-term coach".
Current assistants Darren Harris and Tony Micale are under pressure to hold their positions, as is match committee chairman Tim Gepp.
General manager of football operations Steve Woodhouse will shift to a list-management role, concentrating more on player contracts.
