Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson has signed a new deal which will see him at the club until the end of the 2011 season.
Clarkson guided the currently undefeated Hawks to the finals last season, for the first time since 2001, his third season in charge.
Club President Jeff Kennett said the re-signing of Clarkson is another sign of the strong position that the club is in.
“Alastair enjoys the full confidence of the Hawthorn Football Club Board, management, coaching and playing group,” said Kennett.
“His re-signing for another three years, until the end of 2011, is another sign of the stability and high morale at the Club.”
Clarkson, in his fourth season at Hawthorn, has led the rebuilding of the football department, assembling the best coaching personnel and some of the best young talent in the AFL.
Despite such an impressive start to the season, Clarkson admitted there was still a long way to go.
“Four years ago we started a journey towards the Club’s tenth premiership,” said Clarkson.
“The Club has taken many bold decisions along the way and I look forward to continuing to play an important part in delivering this to the Hawthorn Football Club and its members.”
“Whist we have made a strong start to the 2008 season, both the playing group and coaching staff understand what is necessary to continue to build towards being the most competitive that we can be.”
