Danny Corcoran (sports administrator)

Thomas Daniel "Danny" Corcoran is an Australian sports administrator, having worked for AFL clubs Essendon (1990–1995) and Melbourne (1998–2003), and for Athletics Australia (2004–2010). In 2010 he became the inaugural general manager of rugby operations at the Melbourne Rebels.

Career

At Essendon Corcoran was football operations manager 1990-1995. From there he moved to Melbourne, where he was the football manager 1998-2003. He joined Athletics Australia in 2004 to be CEO. In April 2010 he announced he would resign from AA to become the inaugural general manager of rugby operations at the Melbourne Rebels.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

About his move to the Rebels Corcoran said: "To help bring rugby into the forefront of people's minds, in one of the greatest sporting cities in the world, in a new stadium, will be a great challenge and one that is potentially very rewarding for all involved. It's a great challenge for us and one I genuinely believe this franchise can achieve."[14][15][16] Rebels CEO Brian Waldron added: "Danny is highly experienced, having been involved with successful teams in his history, including AFL side, Essendon." Waldron went on to emphasise Corcoran's expertise in high performance, and then described Danny as a "wonderful addition to the team."[17][18][19][20] Corcoran was born in 1953 to Laura May and Thomas Joseph Corcoran in Warragul, Victoria.[citation needed]

On 4 October 2010, Corcoran resigned as the general manager from the Melbourne Rebels to re-join the Essendon Football Club.
