In a surprising move just minutes ago, the Penrith Panthers confirmed that current head coach Ivan Cleary has officially submitted his resignation from the club. The announcement marks the end of an era for the Panthers, as Cleary has been a pivotal figure in shaping the team’s modern success.
Stepping into the senior coaching role is none other than Greg Alexander, the club’s legendary former player. Alexander, fondly remembered by fans as one of the greatest Panthers of all time, has returned to the club in a leadership capacity, bringing with him decades of experience both on and off the field.
“Greg is a true Panther through and through,” said a club spokesperson. “His knowledge, passion, and connection to the team make him the ideal choice to guide the Panthers into the next chapter of our journey.”
The Panthers have hinted at an official press conference later today, where Alexander will outline his vision for the team’s future and discuss immediate plans for the upcoming season. Fans are already buzzing with excitement at the prospect of seeing a club legend back in the coaching hot seat.
This change comes after a period of speculation regarding the Panthers’ leadership, with insiders noting that both Cleary and Alexander had been in discussions about the transition for several weeks. The move is expected to bring a renewed energy and strategy to the club as they aim to continue their competitive legacy in the league.
More details to follow as the story develops.
