Blues great Stephen Silvagni has returned to list management, just over three years since he departed Carlton. See all the details here.
St Kilda has appointed Stephen Silvagni as its new list manager.
Silvagni, who held the role at GWS from 2011-14 then Carlton from 2015-19, was announced as James Gallagher’s replacement on Friday.
It marks a return to the Saints from Silvagni, an assistant there under close mate Ross Lyon from 2007-10.
He will support footy department veteran Graeme Allan, who has been named St Kilda’s new head of talent and acquisition, also working closely with national recruiting manager Chris Toce.
Allan had been an advisor to the club’s football program since the end of 2018.
Saints chief executive Simon Lethlean said the duo would bring significant experience to their roles.
“Stephen will be focused on developing the club’s overall list strategy, while supporting Graeme and the wider recruitment team with talent identification and acquisition as the club seeks to bolster and develop its list,” Lethlean said.
“St Kilda has seen significant change to its playing list over the past four years and to ensure the program has every opportunity to succeed now and into the future, we need to continue to invest in our recruitment strategy with a focus on bringing in more elite talent, whether that be through trade or draft.”
Gallagher left the Saints last month after four seasons in the role.
Allan and Silvagni will officially start on February 15.
