The Gold Coast Titans and head coach Des Hasler have confirmed 2025 will be his last at the club.

Hasler came to the Titans with an extraordinary coaching pedigree, having reached five grand finals and won two premierships.

During the 2025 season, he became the sixth coach in premiership history to achieve the milestone of coaching 500 NRL games, joining an elite group to have accomplished the feat.

While the results this season are not what had been hoped, during his time at the Titans, Hasler has demonstrated the professionalism and dedication that has made him one of the game’s most respected coaches.

His commitment to developing the playing group and his meticulous approach to preparation have been exemplary, despite the challenging circumstances and ladder position.

Titans chairman Dennis Watt said Hasler is a true icon of the game and thanked him for his time at the club.

“His deep knowledge, passion and unwavering commitment to excellence have been evident every day he has worked with our club,” Watt said.

“While this season hasn’t gone as planned, Des has conducted himself with the dignity and class that has defined his entire career.” 

Hasler will coach the Titans for the remaining two games this season; against the Dolphins in Round 26 and Wests Tigers in Round 27.

The club will provide an update on the coaching structure for 2026 in due course.

The Titans thank Hasler for his service to the club and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
