Grant Luscombe is now at the helm of the Central Highlands Football League powerhouse after replacing Jason Allen in the role.
The 31-year-old believed taking the club to a flag inside the next two years was "realistic".
"Waubra has that winning culture, but you've got to work hard for it at the same time," Luscombe, a teacher at Ballarat High School, said.
"My other goal besides that is to develop those younger players as well so it's sustained success, so that Waubra continues to be a club that is well respected in the footy community."
Luscombe said he was excited about the challenge ahead.
"I'm doing a lot of work with it and I can't wait for it to start already," he said.
"They are a great committee and hard working committee (at Waubra) and great people out there that I really respect."
Season 2015 will be Luscombe's first as a senior coach.
He coached East Point's reserves to two top-of-the-ladder finishes before joining Waubra as a player in 2010. He then went onto coach the Roos' reserves to two-straight grand finals, winning a premiership in 2011.
Luscombe also spent time as an assistant to former Waubra coaches Shane Skontra and Allen before taking time away from the game in 2014. His only serious involvement was with the Ballarat Swans, where he served as a runner late in the year.
