Title-winning AFL coach re-signs with club Mar 16th 2021, 04:37, by wwos Reigning premiers Richmond have been given a huge boost ahead of their season opener, announcing an extension to coach Damien Hardwick's contract until the end of 2024. The 48-year-old joined the Tigers in 2010, and has led them to three premierships in the past four seasons. It will extend Hardwick's time with the club to 15 seasons as a leader, further increasing his position as the longest-tenured coach in Richmond's history. He endured a tumultuous start to his time in Tigerland, finishing second-last in his debut season and 12th in the two after that. After finally breaking into the finals in 2013, the club was left treading water for a few years before finally breaking into the top four in 2017, and staying there ever since. It was that year when they claimed their first premiership since 1980, before a preliminary final loss in 2018 was avenged by two more cups in the last two years.
