Warrington Wolves Retain Head Coach Sam Burgess Until 2026 After Disappointing Season

Warrington Wolves chairman Stuart Middleton has confirmed that Sam Burgess will remain head coach through the 2026 season despite a disappointing Super League campaign. The Wolves are currently outside the playoff positions, having suffered recent defeats to lower-ranked teams including Salford Red Devils. Middleton acknowledged that the season has not met the club's standards and emphasized the need for change, including improvements in player recruitment and stronger performances to repay the supporters' loyalty. Burgess, in his first role as a head coach after previous coaching roles in Australia, has the full backing of the playing group and is described as ambitious and determined to improve results. The club remains committed to developing homegrown talent, highlighted by the academy's unbeaten regular season, and plans to implement further squad changes. Warrington faces a challenging finish to the season with three remaining games as they seek to salvage some success and rebuild for the future.
