Echuca Football Club will return to the field in 2021 with Andrew Walker and Simon Maddox at the helm of the senior side, assisted by Kane Morris and Ruory Kirkby.
Troy Murphy will remain in charge of the reserves, with Leo Tenace hoping to lead the under 18s to a third flag in four years.
Maddox said he was happy to begin work on the upcoming season.
“Getting all the coaching positions locked in gives us the opportunity to get to work straight away,” he said.
“We were really happy with the direction we were going heading into this season, so we wanted to keep those personnel around long term.
“There may be slight changes to what we had for game plan, but overall we are really happy with our direction."
Maddox said the club wanted players to do what was best for them in the time off.
“If guys wanted to run every day, that's fantastic,” he said.
“If they wanted to take six months off for the sake of their mental health, that's also fine.
“There was no right answer for how people handled this. It's never happened before and hopefully won't happen again.
“As a club, our one priority in this time was to look after our people and make sure they came out of it as best as they could.”
Walker, who will be 35 in 2021, said he had no hesitation about pulling the boots back on for another season.
“If I have learned anything in this time away it's how much I love our football club,” he said.
“It's our second home. I love training, I love having dinners with the boys and playing and coaching, and this time away has shown me just how much I truly love it.
“I've done a heap of rehab work in my time off. When you are training and keeping fit you don't get to tend to the little niggling injuries as well as you would like, but I've had the opportunity now to get my body right.
“I feel great, and I want to go out in 2021 and have the best year of football I have had for the Echuca Football Club.”
The club has continued its focus on their youth, with both coaches saying the retention of their under 18 program was their priority.
“We've had an excellent group of young players in the past few years who have claimed two flags and were well on their way to a third,” Walker said.
“Our priority was always to keep them, to make sure they were here long term, and we've been successful in doing so.”
“That's where we want our future,” Maddox said.
“We want to build on what we have. Use the incredible local talent that play for our football club and build them up for the future of the football club.”
