The Gold Coast Titans recently appointed Josh Hannay as their new head coach. However, a unique clause in his contract could impact his tenure. This clause raises the possibility of renowned coach Craig Bellamy taking over the role in the future.\n<\/p>\n
Contract Clause Creates Uncertainty for Titans<\/p>\n
The Titans signed Hannay to a three-year contract in August 2023, succeeding Des Hasler. Reports indicate that a specific clause allows for Hannay to be demoted to an assistant coach position if the Titans successfully recruit Bellamy.\n<\/p>\n
Hannay\u2019s timeframe: Appointed as head coach starting in 2026.
\nBellamy\u2019s potential role: Discussed as a future head coach or other off-field positions by the Titans.<\/p>\n
Interest from Bellamy<\/p>\n
The Titans have reportedly engaged in discussions with Craig Bellamy regarding a potential head coaching role, aimed for 2027. Bellamy is recognized for his exceptional coaching achievements in the NRL, making him a prime candidate for the position.\n<\/p>\n
According to Titans CEO Steve Mitchell, \u201cWe acknowledge Craig\u2019s exceptional coaching credentials and reputation within the game and would welcome him in any capacity.\u201d <\/p>\n
Bellamy\u2019s Ties to the Gold Coast<\/p>\n
Craig Bellamy has established personal ties to the Gold Coast region. He owns an apartment at Coolangatta and has invested in local properties. Additionally, Bellamy\u2019s daughter and her family reside nearby, indicating a strong connection to the area.\n<\/p>\n
Property Ownership: Apartment in Coolangatta.
\nInvestments: Multiple properties in the Gold Coast precinct.<\/p>\n
This unique situation involving Hannay\u2019s contract clause may pave the way for Bellamy\u2019s return to coaching, potentially reshaping the future of the Titans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gold Coast Titans recently appointed Josh Hannay as their new head coach.
