Ivan Cleary Sacked as Penrith Panthers Head Coach
In a shocking turn of events, Penrith Panthers have parted ways with head coach Ivan Cleary, bringing an end to an era of dominance in Australian rugby league. The club’s decision to terminate Cleary’s contract comes after a string of disappointing results, including losses to lower-ranked teams, which reportedly weighed heavily on his position.

Reaction from the Club
Penrith CEO Brian Fletcher expressed gratitude for Cleary’s contributions to the Panthers’ success, highlighting the coach’s dedication, leadership, and immense success during his tenure. “We would like to thank Ivan for his dedication, leadership, and immense success throughout his time with the Panthers,” Fletcher said. “Under his guidance, we have enjoyed a period of unparalleled success, including two NRL Premierships.”

What’s Next for Ivan Cleary?
Cleary’s departure from the Panthers has sparked speculation about his future. Given his impressive track record, it’s likely that he’ll attract interest from other NRL clubs. His next move will be closely watched by rugby league fans and pundits alike.

Potential Successors
The Panthers will now focus on finding a suitable replacement for Cleary. Some potential candidates include ¹:
– *Craig Bellamy*: Former Storm assistant coach
– *Trent Robinson*: Current coach of the Sydney Roosters

The Panthers’ decision to part ways with Cleary marks the end of an era, but it also opens the door for a new chapter in the club’s storied history. With a strong squad and talented players, Penrith is well-positioned to navigate this transition and continue competing at the highest level.
