Dragons coach Shane Flanagan expected to be fired
龍隊教練 Shane Flanagan 原本預期會被解僱
On April 20, 2026, the St George Illawarra Dragons announced the departure of head coach Shane Flanagan.
2026年4月20日,聖喬治伊拉瓦拉飛龍隊(ㄕㄥˋ ㄑㄧㄠˊ ㄓˋ ㄧ ㄌㄚ ㄨㄚ ㄌㄚ ㄈㄟ ㄌㄨㄥˊ ㄉㄨㄟˋ)宣布總教練Shane Flanagan離職。
While the club labeled the split a "mutual agreement," the reality reflects the cut-throat nature of professional sports.
儘管俱樂部將此次分道揚鑣標榜為「雙方協議」,但現實反映了職業運動殘酷(ㄘㄢˊ ㄎㄨˋ)的一面。
Following an abysmal start to the 2026 NRL season, the Dragons failed to secure a single win in their opening seven matches, extending a long-standing losing streak.
繼2026年NRL賽季表現慘淡(ㄘㄢˇ ㄉㄢˋ)的開局後,飛龍隊在賽季前七場比賽中未能取得任何一場勝利,並延續了長期的連敗紀錄。
Interestingly, Flanagan had signed a contract extension until 2028 just last year, a decision that faced significant scrutiny given the team's subsequent performance.
有趣的是,Flanagan去年才剛簽署一份延續至2028年的合約,考慮到球隊隨後的表現,這項決定受到了重大審視(ㄕㄣˇ ㄕˋ)。
The fallout was not limited to the coaching staff; General Manager of Football, Ben Haran, also exited the club, signaling a major structural overhaul by the board.
風波不僅限於教練團;足球總經理Ben Haran也離開了俱樂部,這標誌著董事會將進行重大結構性調整。
