The Manly Sea Eagles have continued their coaching overhaul, despite keeping Anthony Seibold at the helm.
The Daily Telegraph have reported on the appointment of former NRL half Brett Kimmorley, who will take charge of the club’s NSW Cup side next season.
Kimmorley, who played 26 games for the Northern Eagles during his first-grade career, most recently coached the Wests Tigers NRLW side and previously served as interim NRL head coach following Michael Maguire’s departure.

He returns to Brookvale Oval, now 4 Pines Park, as part of Anthony Seibold’s revamped coaching team, which already includes club legend Kieran Foran, set to begin as an assistant coach once his New Zealand commitments at the Pacific Championships conclude.
The coaching changes in Manly have been made with the hope of elevating the club back to a successful position, which in turn would extend Seibold’s tenure with the club, after a rocky 2025 campaign.
Kimmorley announced in September that he would step away from his Tigers NRLW role after a difficult season, and now resumes his coaching career with the Sea Eagles under Seibold’s new structure.
