In a stunning shake-up at the Canberra Raiders, the club has announced that long-serving head coach Ricky Stuart has been relieved of his duties effective immediately. The decision comes after a string of disappointing performances and growing pressure from fans and board members alike.

“While Ricky has given years of dedicated service to this club, we believe it is time for a fresh direction,” said Raiders Chairman in a press statement. “We thank him for his commitment and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

The Raiders, who were tipped as finals contenders at the start of the season, have struggled to maintain consistency, leading to speculation about Stuart’s future over the past few weeks. Assistant coaches are expected to step in as interim leadership while the club searches for a permanent replacement.

Ricky Stuart, 55, has been a cornerstone of Canberra’s coaching setup since 2014, guiding the Raiders to multiple finals appearances and cementing his reputation as one of the NRL’s most respected coaches.

The Raiders are expected to announce an interim head coach within the next 24 hours as the club seeks to stabilize ahead of the mid-season clash against rivals.
