Gold Coast Titans Confirm Des Hasler Departure After Disappointing Season

Des Hasler will step down as head coach of the Gold Coast Titans at the end of the 2025 NRL season after a challenging tenure marked by poor team performance. Despite his extensive coaching experience, including five grand finals and two premierships, Hasler's time at the Titans has seen only 13 wins from 46 games, with the team currently sitting last on the ladder. The decision to part ways comes with a year remaining on Hasler's contract, and he will coach the final two games of the season against the Dolphins and Wests Tigers. Gold Coast chairman Dennis Watt praised Hasler's dedication, knowledge, and professionalism despite the disappointing results. The Titans plan to announce their new coaching structure soon, with assistant coach Josh Hannay considered a likely replacement. Hasler's departure marks the end of a turbulent period for the Titans as they look to rebuild for the future.
