It’s been just over a day since Michael Voss stepped down as head coach of Carlton, but the changes haven’t stopped there for the 50-year-old.
Pictures show the former three-time premiership winner packing up his car as he and his family prepare to move out of his marital home.
The house has also been listed on the rental market as the upheaval continues, in what has been a tumultuous week for the former Carlton coach.
The property, last sold for $2.41 million in 2014, is being advertised for rent at more than $1,700 a week.
The listing reveals the house boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two parking spaces.
Anyone interested can rent the property for over $1,750 per week.

The listing comes as it appears Voss is wasting no time in getting out of town after what has been a disastrous start to the 2026 season.
Pressure had been mounting, with the Blues winning just one game so far in the 2026 season, along with the club coming under scrutiny for their handling of Elijah Hollands’ mental health episode.
Voss eventually made the decision to step away from the team with the side third from bottom.
He hasn’t spoken with the media outside of his initial exit interview, despite the scrum camped outside his current house that he will be leaving.
And he’s gone to great lengths to avoid them, performing something of a great escape on Tuesday.
Eddie McGuire, speaking on Today, said, ‘So Vossy, he goes to the gym, and when he gets home he sees all the journos out the front … anyway, about half an hour later, this lady comes down and tells the boys and girls from the media, ‘Hey, I know you are waiting for Michael Voss, but he’s gone.’
‘They (the media) said, ‘Where can he go? We have been here the whole time.’
‘Vossy had jumped the back fence, crawled along the ground and then jumped over this woman’s back fence.
‘His daughter was waiting for him there… he then jumped in the car and they drove off.’
Following his decision to step down Voss spoke of the impact his career has had on his family, and that is perhaps a driving factor in the move away from his home

Perhaps the move is linked to the media circus following him around, as anyone could sympathise with the former coach wanting some peace following his four years in charge.
And it seems to be a decision driven by his devotion to his family; following his exit, Voss spoke about the impact his career has had on his loved ones: ‘You can cop bullets. It’s often ricochets that people feel and those people are my kids and Mum and Dad and my wife,’ he said.
‘When you have that sort of support, you can go off and do your thing … they’re there for me, no matter what.’
The three-time premiership player confessed that he struggled with the decision to step down as he had no plan for his career after being head coach of Carlton
He also made it clear that he has no clue what comes next in his career, but said he was at peace with the decision.
‘I’m at peace with the decision, but probably the most uncomfortable part about all this is I don’t know what is next,’ he said.
‘I’ve never been a ‘Plan B’ sort of guy. I’ve been ‘Plan A all-in’, or ‘Plan B all-out’ … what do we do next?
‘Leadership doesn’t promise us to be fair. The game doesn’t promise to be fair.’
Despite being ‘at peace’, Voss did express some frustration with the way his time at the club came to an end.
‘It’s very frustrating,’ Voss told the AFL website.
‘We had a project that was sizeable. The change in player personnel, the change in the coaches was significant.
‘So being able to bind that together and get that connecting really fast, and getting some level of cohesion, and doing it under the most extreme pressure, was maybe just too big a task to be able to handle.
‘It doesn’t mean that won’t be solved in the coming weeks. It doesn’t mean it won’t be solved in the coming months … but that’s the point of this (resigning) – give the space, let it happen and see where the next iteration of this team can go.’
