Danny McGuire Considers Super League Coaching Ambitions
After a distinguished playing career that saw him lift eight Super League titles with the Leeds Rhinos, Danny McGuire has set his sights on a coaching role in the top flight. The former half-back, who ended his playing days at Hull KR, is currently serving as an assistant coach to Craig Lingard at Castleford Tigers, but has been linked with the vacant head coach position at Hull FC in recent weeks.
Speaking ahead of Hull KR’s clash with Warrington Wolves, McGuire addressed the reports concerning the Hull FC job. While acknowledging his desire to become a head coach in Super League, the 40-year-old stated that he is “not quite ready for it yet.” McGuire emphasized his respect for Hull FC as a club, but insisted there has been no dialogue regarding the role, and his allegiance remains with the Robins.
Hull FC have been without a permanent head coach since parting ways with Tony Smith in April, and have managed just one win this season. The club’s Director of Rugby, Richie Myler, has confirmed that current interim coach Simon Grix is in pole position for the job, although the club is open to both an immediate appointment and one made for the beginning of the 2025 season.
Several high-profile names have been linked with the Hull FC position, including Salford Red Devils coach Paul Rowley and NRL assistants Lee Briers and Brian McDermott. Most recently, Leigh Leopards’ Adrian Lam has been touted as a potential candidate, though he has refused to be drawn on the speculation.
As Danny McGuire continues to develop his coaching experience, the rugby league community will closely follow his next move and any potential opportunities that may arise for the former Leeds star to take up a head coaching role in Super League.
