ESSENDON chief executive Peter Jackson has confirmed that 2009 will be his final season with the club.
Jackson, who has been in charge for the past 13 years, said the time was right for him to move on.
"I think as a leader it is important to recognise when the time is right for change," Jackson said.
"From the perspective of the football club and also from a personal point of view I think that time is now,"
"There are things away from football that I now wish to focus some of my energies on - I am very comfortable with my decision."
Essendon chairman Ray Horsburgh said the board will embark on a thorough search to find a replacement.
"Peter has done an outstanding job in his time as CEO and managing director of the club," Horsburgh said.
"We are pleased he has agreed to remain in the position until the completion of this season."
“The timing of this announcement will give the Club time to put in place the right process to find a replacement who can work with the club’s executive and staff to build on the wonderful foundations that have been established under Peter’s guidance.”
