Kieran Foran signed a three-year contract Tuesday to remain head coach of the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles through the 2029 season [1].
The agreement provides the Northern Beaches club with leadership stability following Foran's successful period as the team's interim coach. By securing a long-term commitment, the organization aims to establish a consistent coaching era to drive future success [3].
The announcement on June 2, 2026 [1] formalizes Foran's role as the permanent head coach. At 35 years old, Foran takes the helm of the Brookvale-based club with a mandate to build upon the momentum generated during his temporary tenure [2].

Manly-Warringah officials said they sought to cement the coaching position quickly to provide players and staff with a clear long-term vision. The three-year deal [2] signals a high level of confidence in Foran's ability to translate interim success into a permanent championship pursuit.
