West Coast have appointed Andrew McQualter as their new AFL coach.

McQualter replaces 2018 premiership coach Adam Simpson, who departed in July this year.

The 38-year-old McQualter served as Richmond's caretaker coach when Damien Hardwick stepped down in May last year and was a long-time assistant coach at the Tigers.
