Whittlesea coach Wayne Vander Ross has stood down as coach of the Northern Football League division 1 side.
The Eagles issued a statement on social media about the coaching change at the club on Wednesday morning.
“It is with regret that the Whittlesea Football Netball Club announce that senior coach Wayne Vander Ross is stepping down from the position effective immediately,” the statement said.
“Wayne informed the club of his decision on Monday night and informed the player group Tuesday prior to training.
“Whittlesea would like to thank Wayne for his efforts in what has been a difficult and tough season and wish Wayne and his family all the best for the future.”
Paul Higgins will head the coaching team for the rest of the season, assisted by senior assistant coaches Cam McCormick and James Robinson and development coaches Jack Dyson and Andrew Draper.
It’s been a tough season for the Eagles, who are without a win after 13 rounds.
The Eagles will host Macleod on Saturday in round 14.
