Collingwood has announced that Peter Murphy and Mark Korda will serve as as interim co-presidents following the high profile resignation of controversial club supremo Eddie McGuire on Tuesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

A teary McGuire fell on his sword after 22 years in the role in the wake of a damning report into systemic racism at the AFL club.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Collingwood board met on Wednesday to discuss the path forward and decided that club directors Murphy and Korda would fill the void until McGuire's permanent successor is found.<\/p>\n

"The board believes that there are a number of high quality internal candidates and wishes to consider\u00a0external candidates for the vacancy," a Collingwood press release said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

"In replacing both the president and the casual vacancy role, the board wants time to determine\u00a0what\u00a0further\u00a0professional expertise it wishes to\u00a0bring to the board table.<\/p>\n

"On behalf of the board director Christine Holgate will chair this process, which commenced when McGuire announced he was stepping down from the presidency late last year.<\/p>\n

"It is expected to conclude within eight weeks."<\/p>\n

The club also revealed how it planned to tackle the findings of racism in the 35 page report.<\/p>\n

"It\u00a0was\u00a0determined that the expert advisory panel recommended by the Do Better report\u00a0will be established as a priority and report directly to the board.<\/p>\n

"This work has already commenced and an announcement on the formation of the panel\u00a0will be made\u00a0next week.<\/p>\n

"Further,\u00a0the club will\u00a0employ\u00a0a strategic advisor to provide expert advice as the club begins to implement all the recommendations of the Do Better report across the organisation.<\/p>\n

"This role will report directly to chief executive Mark Anderson.<\/p>\n

"This appointment\u00a0is also expected to be announced\u00a0next week."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
