Carlton Retains Coach Michael Voss Through 2026 After Board Meeting

News summary

Carlton Football Club has confirmed that Michael Voss will remain as their senior coach through the 2026 AFL season, shutting down ongoing speculation about his future amid a difficult 2025 campaign. The club's board unanimously endorsed the decision following a comprehensive five-hour meeting, with CEO-elect Graham Wright recommending Voss continue in his role. Despite Carlton's struggles this year, including a poor start and only seven wins, Voss's leadership qualities under pressure were highlighted as a key factor in the decision. The club's president, Rob Priestley, emphasized that the decision was made with a calm and rational approach focused on the club's long-term football development. This announcement came shortly after Melbourne's surprising sacking of their coach Simon Goodwin, which had sparked rumors that Carlton might follow suit, but Carlton chose stability instead. Discussions also included the futures of football boss Brad Lloyd and assistant coaches, with a broader review of the football program ongoing under incoming CEO Wright.
