In a significant move that has sent ripples through the AFL, Chris Davies has announced his resignation from his role as Port Adelaide’s football boss to take up a new position at Collingwood. The news comes as a major coup for the Magpies, who have been actively strengthening their management team after a successful season.

Davies, who has been instrumental in shaping Port Adelaide’s football operations for several years, made the announcement early Monday morning. His decision to leave the club marks the end of an era for Port Adelaide, where he played a pivotal role in building the team’s strong on-field presence and its development systems.

“It’s been an incredible journey at Port Adelaide, and I am grateful for the support and opportunities I’ve had,” Davies said in a statement. “However, I feel the time is right for a new challenge, and I’m excited to be joining Collingwood in their pursuit of continued success.”

During his tenure at Port Adelaide, Davies helped guide the team through multiple finals campaigns and was a driving force behind many of their key player acquisitions. His strategic vision and leadership were widely praised within the AFL community.

Collingwood has expressed its enthusiasm for Davies’ arrival, highlighting his proven track record in football management and his ability to drive success. The club sees Davies as a crucial addition as they look to build on their recent triumphs and push for more premiership glory.

Davies is expected to officially join Collingwood in the coming weeks, with plans already underway for a smooth transition into his new role.
