NICK Smith took on board Werribee Central’s theme for the aborted 2020 season when making his decision on whether to coach the club next year.
Smith has confirmed he will share the role with Rhyce Prismall, who came on board as co-coach late last year.
“Our catchcry for this year was “unfinished business” because I felt last year we got close, and we’d added a few and this year could be our year,” Smith said.
“In the end, I had to use my catchphrase on myself.
“And also not feeling like I’d fully achieved in terms of a handover to Prissa (Prismall as well because we never got to do the actual season portion together.”
However, Smith, who took the Centurions to last year’s preliminary final before succumbing to eventual premier Bannockburn, is unlikely to be in the position post-2021.
“I’m really thankful the club is allowing me to be part of the handover,” he said.
“I feel like I’ve helped rebuild the culture, improved our reputation, gameplan, developing players, all those things.
“Then you’ve got to hand the keys to someone that you don’t know who they are and they can often go in a different direction; I think Prissa’s the perfect person for it.”
With the Smith-Prismall combination now confirmed, preparation for 2021 can now begin.
