In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the Northern Beaches and the broader NRL community, Manly Sea Eagles head coach Anthony Seibold has officially confirmed the return of club legend Des Hasler.

Fans across the Valley erupted with joy as it was revealed that Hasler is rejoining the organization — not as a player, but stepping into the critical role of senior coach. This marks a homecoming for one of the most celebrated figures in Sea Eagles history, whose previous tenure shaped the club into a powerhouse of the NRL.

Speaking at a press conference earlier today, Seibold expressed his excitement:

“Des Hasler embodies the spirit and culture of the Sea Eagles. Having him back in this capacity is a monumental boost for our team, our fans, and the future of the club.”

The announcement has already sparked widespread discussion among players and supporters alike, with many praising the strategic move to bring back a leader known for his tactical genius and motivational prowess.

Club insiders suggest that Hasler’s return could redefine Manly’s playing style and set the stage for a thrilling NRL season ahead. Fans are eagerly anticipating how his coaching philosophy will blend with Seibold’s current strategies, hoping for a resurgence that could see the Sea Eagles reclaim their dominance on the field.

With the 2026 season fast approaching, all eyes are now on Manly Sea Eagles as the club embarks on this exciting new chapter with Hasler at the helm.
