Assistant coach David Teague has concluded his time at Richmond.
Teague, who has been a coach for the past 17 years, will explore broader opportunities potentially outside of coaching, from within and outside the football industry.
The long-time coach joined Richmond ahead of the 2022 season after 50 games as Carlton's senior coach.
Teague previously had assistant coaching stints at Carlton, Adelaide, St Kilda and West Coast after commencing his career as senior coach of the Northern Bullants (VFL) at just 26 years of age.
The passionate mentor also assisted with the Bachar Houli Foundation this year, aiding young Islamic players and coaches to reach the next level of their football careers.
Richmond General Manager- Football Performance Tim Livingstone thanked Teague for his contribution to the Club.
"David has been a valued member of our coaching panel across the past three years and our players have been fortunate to have someone of his coaching calibre at the Club," he said.
"As he turns his attention to the next chapter of his career in football, one of our development coaches will be given a chance to step into the line coaching role and begin working with our forwards as they look to finish the year with some momentum that will carry into 2025.
"We thank David and his family for their commitment to Richmond across the past three years and wish them well for the future."
After 17 years of coaching, Teague said that while coaching will always be a passion of his, he is looking with interest at other opportunities possibly outside of an AFL club.
“Firstly, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Richmond Football Club for reaching out after my time at Carlton and offering me an opportunity to join the Tiger family," he said.
"I am very grateful to have been given this chance, as I learned so much about the attributes of a premiership team and why this Club is so great.
"The qualities and values of a Richmond Man are so powerful to see, feel and connect with. I love all areas of the game and will look to continue contributing to football across the coming years."
Teague, 43, also had a distinguished playing career, winning Carlton’s best and fairest in 2004.
