Chris Fagan to decide this week whether to retire after three-peat
The 65-year-old Brisbane Lions coach will decide in coming days whether to step down after winning three consecutive premierships.
Chris Fagan said Saturday night he needs time to think after leading the Lions to the AFL's most elusive achievement. Chris Fagan joins coaching immortals Jock McHale, Norm Smith, Leigh Matthews and Alastair Clarkson in winning three grand finals in a row.
Fagan is contracted for next year but admitted before the match that he might not go on in 2026. Fagan told Seven he has been coaching for a decade and it is a taxing job.
He wants to leave at the right time rather than be forced out after poor years.
