Adelaide have appointed Scott Camporeale to replace Todd Viney on the AFL club's coaching staff.

Camporeale, the former star Carlton midfielder, left Essendon last month after three seasons as an assistant there.

Viney left the Crows last week to take on the player development manager role at Melbourne, where he was a former captain.

"We first spoke to Scott six weeks ago, however at that stage we didn't have a role available," said Crows football manager Phil Harper.

"With Todd Viney's recent decision to leave, we spoke to Scott amongst others and offered him the position.

"We believe Scott's experience in coaching the midfield at Essendon will be very helpful in his new role with our club."
