Former Kiwi Star Foran Named Interim Manly Coach
Seibold was dismissed after a winless start including three home losses and a 33-16 defeat to the Roosters with fans demanding change, officials said.
- The Manly Sea Eagles sacked head coach Anthony Seibold on Friday, just three games into the 2026 NRL season, aiming to salvage their winless campaign.
- Pressure intensified on the 51-year-old coach following Thursday's 33-16 loss to the Sydney Roosters, as defensive capitulations exhausted club leadership's patience with the team's 0-3 start.
- During Thursday's defeat, fans chanted "Seibold out" as the visitors dominated; in his three-year tenure, Seibold recorded 37 wins and 38 losses.
- Assistants Jim Dymock and Kieran Foran are considered for interim roles as club bosses initiated an immediate search, with Seibold informed of his dismissal less than 24 hours after the Roosters' victory.
- Management is exploring long-term options including Brad Arthur, Matt Ballin, and NSW Cup coach Brett Kimmorley, while Willie Peters is unavailable after accepting the PNG NRL franchise head coach position.
