SACKED St Kilda coach Scott Watters has no regrets over his ill-fated two-year tenure at Seaford, saying the youngsters he blooded as the Saints slipped to 16th last year will be the future of the club.

Watters was dismissed by the Saints last November following a post-season review, despite having a year to run on his contract.

His sacking followed reports of a personality clash with Saints football manager Chris Pelchen and public differences with former CEO Michael Nettlefold early last season about whether the club was rebuilding.

But Watters told News Ltd he was proud of his contribution to the Saints.

"Every decision made was to give the club a future. The players that will run around this year and the next were given the chance to learn their craft over the last couple of years," Watters said.
