Stephen Taubert retires from his role as ruck coach of the Sydney Swans.

"The Swans have been part of my life since 1982 when the club first moved to Sydney and over that time I’ve just had the most incredible journey," Taubert said.

"I’ve made enduring friendships, been part of five Grand Finals and multiple finals series but the time has come for someone else to hold the ruck bag.

"I look forward to watching the current Swans ruckmen continue to develop and fulfil their potential."
