sad news;the head coach of port adelaide Ken Hinkley formaly announced his contract termination which result to..
According to rumors, Port Adelaide and Ken Hinkley have reached a “handshake agreement” whereby Josh Carr, the assistant coach, will succeed Hinkley as senior coach at the end of 2025.
After leading the Power back into the playoffs while facing intense pressure to keep his job, Hinkley re-signed late in the previous year and added a two-year extension. The 2024 season has started off well since then.
However, Carr—a 2004 Power premiership player, SANFL coach, and assistant at Fremantle—has long been considered the obvious choice to take over for Hinkley after his protracted tenure at the team ends.
Veteran reporter Caroline Wilson claims that Carr and Hinkley have reached a deal with the team whereby the former will take over for the latter in a span of eighteen months.
Wilson stated on Nine’s Footy Classified, “All things being equal, Ken Hinkley will coach this year, next year, and then he will stand aside for Josh Carr.”
Josh Carr and the club are collaborating closely off the field. Josh is being coached by a consultant who works with the coaches. Josh Carr has been given an understanding, even though the board may not have received it.
