Camporeale and Prescott to quit as assistant coaches at the Bombers at the end of the year

Essendon assistant coaches Scott Camporeale and Ashley Prescott will step down from their positions at the end of the 2010 season.

The pair plan to relocate to South Australia and Western Australia respectively, for family reasons.
Camporeale has spent three years as an assistant coach at Essendon following a successful AFL career in which he played 233 games with Carlton and Essendon. Camporeale was part of Carlton’s 1995 Premiership side and named All-Australian in 2000.
Prescott also joined the Bombers as an assistant coach in 2008 after previously holding senior coaching positions at Clontarf Indigenous Football Academy and Claremont Football Club.

The former Richmond and Fremantle player tallied 118 AFL games from 1993 to  2001.
Coach Matthew Knights thanked the pair for their contribution to the club and wished them well in their future endeavours.
“Scott and Ash have been integral to the development of our young group and we are grateful for the role they have played over the past three years,” Knights said.
“We understand that both of the guys are raising young families and it is important that they do what is best for them.
“Both Scott and Ash have formed many strong friendships over their time here and they will be most certainly be missed around the place and we wish them the best of luck for their careers post-Essendon.”
