Full-time Foran: Manly locks in NRL head coach on multi-year deal
The former Test playmaker earned the job after guiding Manly to seven wins in nine matches and restoring the club’s premiership hopes.
- On Tuesday, the Manly Sea Eagles officially appointed Kieran Foran as permanent head coach on a three-year deal running through the end of 2029.
- Manly chairman Scott Penn appointed Foran after sacking Anthony Seibold following an 0-3 start; Foran then guided the team to seven wins from nine matches since late March.
- Foran brings 318 games of playing experience and a 2011 premiership title to the role; star fullback Tom Trbojevic praised his impact, saying "I've absolutely loved working under Foz."
- Securing Foran provides a recruitment boost as Manly aims to retain rising stars; contracts for key players including Trbojevic expire November 1, 2027.
- Penn envisions Foran at the helm for the next 20 years to build a dynasty while competing for premierships immediately. "We see this as a dynasty we're building," Penn said.
