Breaking News: ESPN REPORT: Wigan Warriors Head Coach Matt Peet Fired
In a surprising and sudden move, the Wigan Warriors have announced the dismissal of their head coach, Matt Peet, just minutes ago. The decision comes after a challenging start to the 2025 Super League season, with the Warriors failing to meet expectations set by both the club and fans alike.
Peet, who took over as head coach in 2021, had guided the Warriors to some significant successes, including a strong finish in the 2023 Super League. However, this season, the team has struggled with consistency, resulting in a string of disappointing results that have led to growing frustration among supporters and club officials.
Wigan had been expected to compete at the highest level, given their storied history and the resources available to Peet. The club’s form has been under intense scrutiny, and despite some flashes of brilliance, they have failed to produce a sustained challenge for the top spots in the league. The team’s recent loss streak has been seen as the final straw, prompting the club’s board to act swiftly.
In a statement released by the Wigan Warriors, the club thanked Matt Peet for his dedication and hard work during his tenure. “We appreciate the commitment Matt has shown during his time at the club, and we acknowledge the effort he has put into developing the team. However, we believe a change is necessary to steer the team in the right direction moving forward,” the statement read.
The Warriors are now looking for a new head coach to take the helm and bring a fresh approach to the team as they seek to reclaim their place among the Super League elite. Wigan, one of the most successful clubs in rugby league history, will no doubt be hoping that the next appointment can lead the team to more success.
Peet’s departure has sent shockwaves through the rugby league community, with many surprised by how quickly the club moved to make a change. Several names are already being floated as potential candidates to replace him, with some prominent figures in the rugby league world expected to be in the running.
More details are expected to emerge as Wigan begins the search for their next head coach.
