Sacked coach Adam Simpson says he understands why West Coast made the call to end his tenure at the club, and he is now looking forward to moving in “a different direction”.

Speaking Channel 7’s Talking Footy on Wednesday, Simpson admitted that the past couple of years had been a “real challenge” and he was “sad” but also “a little bit relieved” that the call had finally been made.

Simpson was informed by West Coast on Monday that the club would be looking to bring in a new coach.

Simpson said he had been overwhelmed by the support he had received in the aftermath of the decision, and also revealed that he had received some surprising messages as well.
