BREAKING NEWS: Manly Sea Eagles Coach Anthony Seibold Signs Contract Extension Through 2026

Sydney, Australia – Manly Warringah Sea Eagles head coach Anthony Seibold has officially signed a contract extension that will keep him at the helm of the NRL club through the end of the 2026 season. The announcement was made today, confirming the club’s confidence in Seibold’s leadership and long-term vision for the team.

Seibold, a former high school teacher and university lecturer, has built an impressive career that bridges both education and elite sport. Before stepping into the coaching spotlight, he worked in the academic field, focusing on sport science and athlete development — experience that has since shaped his modern, analytical approach to coaching.

Since joining the Sea Eagles in late 2022, Seibold has been instrumental in reshaping the club’s playing style and culture. Under his guidance, Manly has shown renewed consistency and a stronger defensive structure, while developing emerging talent from the club’s junior pathways.

In a statement announcing the extension, Seibold expressed his gratitude and excitement about continuing with the Sea Eagles:

“I’m proud to lead this great club and work with such a dedicated group of players and staff. We’ve made strong progress, and I’m confident we’re building towards sustained success. I’m grateful to the club and our supporters for their ongoing belief and support.”

Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov praised Seibold’s professionalism and impact on the club, saying the decision to extend his contract was an easy one.

“Anthony has brought stability, structure, and a clear direction to the team. His background in education and performance science has been a real asset, and we believe he’s the right person to take Manly forward over the next few seasons,” Mestrov said.

The extension cements Seibold’s place among the NRL’s most respected modern coaches — a testament to his resilience, adaptability, and dedication to continuous improvement.

With the 2026 season now in his sights, Seibold and the Sea Eagles will be aiming to build on recent progress and return to premiership contention in the years ahead.
