Sports 3 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 48m ago

Chris Fagan has stepped down as coach of the Brisbane Lions, walking away from the club just days after securing a historic third-consecutive AFL premiership with a grand final victory over Fremantle. The 65-year-old decided not to return for the upcoming season, choosing to end his tenure immediately following the historic premiership three-peat.

Fagan's departure concludes a 10-year reign at the helm of the Brisbane Lions. By stepping down now, he leaves the role on top rather than returning to pursue a record-equalling fourth consecutive flag.
