Melbourne parts ways with CEO just months into tenure

Melbourne CEO Paul Guerra has parted ways with the club under a year into his tenure at the Dees.

Guerra took the vacant CEO role in September of last year, taking the role left vacant for six months after the departure of Gary Pert.

Guiding the Demons through a clean-out over the off-season, Guerra orchestrated the hiring new head coach Steven King amid exits of premiership stars Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca.

It has been reported that the club has moved Guerra on in a shock decision after a strong start to the 2026 season.

Reports suggest that former West Coast, Geelong and Carlton CEO Brian Cook will likely take the role of interim CEO.

More to come.
