Watch LIVE: Saints president, CEO explain why they sacked Brett Ratten

St Kilda president Andrew Bassat and chief executive Simon Lethlean are fronting a media conference at Moorabbin at 11.30am, explaining why they have sacked coach Brett Ratten.. He had been reappointed for a further two years in July, but the Saints missed the finals,

It was assumed Ratten, 51, was safe, having been reappointed less than 100 days ago, but the Saints believed they needed major change. The Saints made the finals only once - in 2020 when they beat the Western Bulldogs in an elimination final - under Ratten.He took over as caretaker coach midway through the 2019 season when Alan Richardson was sacked, and has had three full seasons in charge.

Ross Lyon, who led the Saints into three grand finals, before leaving the club in tumultuous circumstances after the 2011 season, has also been mentioned as a possible candidate, while former Essendon coach James Hird is likely to be sounded out.But one assistant coach who won’t be in the frame is Daniel Giansiracusa, with the Bombers announcing on Friday that he had re-signed for another two years and will form part of new coach Brad Scott’s off-field team.
