In a stunning development, Penrith Panthers head coach Ivan Cleary is set to part ways with the club after what is expected to be a record-breaking mega deal. Sources close to the club have confirmed that Cleary, who has been instrumental in the Panthers’ recent dominance in the NRL, will soon sign with another club in a move that is sending shockwaves throughout the rugby league community.

Cleary, who has led Penrith to three NRL premierships in the last five seasons, has developed a strong relationship with the club’s management and players. Under his stewardship, the Panthers have become one of the most successful franchises in modern rugby league history, with Cleary’s tactical acumen and leadership hailed as key factors behind their sustained success. His departure marks the end of an era for Penrith, who are now faced with the challenge of replacing a coach who has taken them to unprecedented heights.

While the identity of Cleary’s new club remains undisclosed, industry insiders are speculating that the deal is set to be one of the biggest in NRL history, with terms that could see Cleary earn millions over the coming years. This is likely to include significant incentives tied to performance and long-term success.

The decision comes as Cleary reportedly seeks a fresh challenge after a decade of involvement with Penrith, where he first took the reins in 2012 before returning to the club in 2019. His departure could also signal a shift in the dynamics of the NRL coaching landscape, with top-tier coaches in high demand.

Penrith Panthers management, meanwhile, is understood to be in crisis talks, weighing up potential replacements and aiming to ensure that the club’s championship aspirations remain intact despite this major change. Fans will now be eagerly awaiting official statements as the story continues to unfold
