Mick Malthouse has confirmed his senior coaching career is over following his sacking from Carlton on Tuesday.

The Blues made the decision to cut ties with Malthouse following his incendiary radio interview on Tuesday morning where he slammed the board and chief executive Steven Trigg.

Malthouse released a statement via the AFL on Tuesday evening, outlining he would not seek a senior coaching position elsewhere, bringing down the curtain on his decorated career.

He registered an AFL record 718 senior matches as coach across four clubs and 31 seasons, winning three premierships with West Coast (1992, 1994) and Collingwood (2010).

“It has been a varied career which has taken me the breadth of this great country and I believe the game, and I, have matured greatly during the past decades,” Malthouse said.

“This concludes my coaching journey but I will enjoy viewing the game from afar and its progress.”

Malthouse said he was content with what he had achieved as coach, in addition to being a premiership player with Richmond.

“I bear no grudges and I have no regrets,” he said.

“I have achieved some amazing football highs with some wonderful people and endured tough times with great support.”

Malthouse’s statement wished no ill feeling towards the Blues, preferring to thank the club and the AFL community for what was a remarkable career in the game.
