Rombotis is the new coach of Kangaroo Flat....
--------------------------------------------
KANGAROO Flat yesterday ended its three-month search for a new senior coach by announcing former AFL player John Rombotis will lead the club in the All Seasons Bendigo Football League this year.
Rombotis played 48 games of AFL football with Fitzroy, Port Adelaide and Richmond.
Kangaroo Flat has won just five games in the past four seasons, but Rombotis, who has signed a two-year deal, says he isn't concerned by what the club has done in the past, he is focussed solely on the future.
'We're about developing a new side and a new beginning," Rombotis, who was non-committal on whether he will pull on the boots this year, said yesterday.
Since Rombotis' AFL career ended in 2000, he has coached Belgrave in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League, won a premiership with amateur club St Kevin's and spent the past two years coaching Roxburgh Park in the second division of the Essendon District Football League.
This is a two-year coaching tenure with an option, but at the moment, I just want to focus on developing the side and I'm really looking forward to it."
John has a vast amount of experience, he has played with Fitzroy underneath Bernie Quinlan and Mick Nunan, Port Adelaide underneath John Cahill, and Richmond under Jeff Gieschen and Danny Frawley.
