Breaking: Chris Fagan steps down from Brisbane Lions

Chris Fagan, 65, has retired from coaching the Brisbane Lions after leading them to their third consecutive AFL premiership on Saturday. He announced his decision to the team earlier this week before a year of his contract was set to expire. When he took over in 2017 at age 55, the Lions were struggling and ranked second-to-last in the league. Under Fagan’s guidance, they qualified for the finals in each of the last five seasons and won three premierships, with their most recent triumph coming against Fremantle after a comeback victory. Known affectionately as "Fages" or "Papa Fages," he built strong relationships with his players over a decade marked by significant team improvement and success.
