Simon Goodwin, Melbourne's only premiership coach in the past 60 years, has been sacked by the Demons.
The former Adelaide champion, who led the club to the drought-breaking 2021 flag, has been let go by the Demons following just seven wins this season.
Taking over from Paul Roos in a succession plan for the 2017 season, Goodwin led Melbourne to their first premiership in 57 years.
But off-field turmoil and dwindling performances on the field placed the 48-year-old's job in jeopardy.
