Catalans confirm sacking of head coach McNamara

More than a month after Steve McNamara’s departure as head coach, the Catalan Dragons have announced the firing of him.

The former England coach’s final game under his belt was a 40-0 Super League defeat suffered by St Helens on May 15, 2004, when Joel Tomkins had interim leadership in each of their previous five games.

However, Les Dracs had not officially confirmed McNamara’s resignation until Monday.

The Dragons and Catalans have decided to end their relationship with their head coach Steve McNamara after eight years, and he has already accepted his position, according to the club.

With a 32-0 victory over Huddersfield on Saturday, the French side snapped a seven-game losing streak and is now five points clear of the play-off spots.
