埃森顿足球俱乐部临时主教练迪恩·所罗门近日澄清了与候选主教练马克·麦维医生之间存在不和的传言。[1]所罗门强调两人是自15岁起就认识的好友。[1]俱乐部上周已同意所罗门不参与主教练职位的竞争程序。[1]
所罗门于5月接替布拉德·斯科特担任临时主教练，目前执教战绩为10场仅胜1场。[1]他表示，虽然已不再争夺主教练职位，但对明年是否留任助理教练仍不确定。[1]所罗门提及家人仍居住在新南威尔士州北部，自己已离家10至11个月，同时指出新任主教练可能希望引入自己选定的助教团队。[1]他以凯文·希迪为例说明，主教练不一定需要是前埃森顿球员，希迪曾效力里士满队后来执教埃森顿队。[1]
Essendon Football Club's interim head coach Dean Solomon has dismissed rumours of tension between himself and candidate coach Mark McVeigh, characterising their relationship as a long-standing friendship [1]. Solomon stated that he and McVeigh have been close friends "since we were 15 years old" [1].
Solomon, who took over from Brad Scott in May, acknowledged that the club has already agreed he will not compete for the permanent head coaching position [1]. His record as interim coach stands at one win from ten matches [1]. However, his future involvement with the club remains uncertain, as he has not confirmed whether he will continue as an assistant coach next season [1]. Solomon cited two key reasons for this uncertainty: his family continues to reside in northern New South Wales, and he has been away from home for ten to eleven months, while the incoming head coach may prefer to bring in their own coaching staff [1].
