In a stunning move that has rocked the NRL, the Sydney Roosters have officially parted ways with long-serving head coach Trent Robinson following a series of internal reviews and on-field challenges. The decision brings an end to one of the most successful coaching tenures in the clubโs modern history.
Robinson, who has been at the helm since 2013, led the Roosters to multiple premierships, consistent finals appearances, and established a culture widely admired across rugby league. However, sources close to the club suggest that recent performances, injury disruptions, and the need for a strategic reset prompted senior management to make the difficult call.
In a brief statement, the Roosters acknowledged Robinsonโs immense contribution to the club:
โTrent Robinson has been an outstanding leader and coach of the Sydney Roosters. His legacy of success, professionalism, and commitment to excellence will forever be part of this clubโs history.โ
Reports indicate that CEO and board members agreed the club required a new direction and fresh voice to guide the next phase of its evolution, particularly as the Roosters look to rebuild and re-energize their playing roster ahead of future seasons.
Players were informed earlier today, with emotions said to be mixed throughout the squad. Fans have reacted strongly, flooding social media with messages of gratitude, shock, and debate over the timing of the decision.
An interim head coach is expected to be announced shortly, while the Roosters begin a comprehensive search for a long-term replacement. Several high-profile assistants and experienced NRL coaches are already being linked to the role.
As the league absorbs the news, one thing is certain: the departure of Trent Robinson marks the end of a defining era for the Sydney Roostersโand the beginning of a bold new chapter.
