Family

His mother’s name is not known and his father’s name is not known. He is very close to his parents and enjoys spending time with them. His parents always supported his career.
Coaching career
On 2 December 2018, Siebold was announced as the new Brisbane Broncos coach from 2019, a year earlier than expected, after Wayne Bennett was sacked as coach.
The 2019 season started badly for Siebold and Brisbane as the club made its equally poor start to a season since entering the competition in 1988. This included a 4–36 loss against the Sydney Roasters at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Between rounds 16 and 24, Brisbane lost only 2 out of 8 games and qualified for the final with a 17–16 victory over Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium.
In the 2019 elimination final against Parramatta, Brisbane suffered their worst defeat (at the time) and suffered the biggest defeat in the history of the final, losing 58–0 at the new Western Sydney Stadium. At the post-match press conference, Siebold said, “I’m really disappointed, I’m embarrassed. I can’t make excuses for it. I’ll wear it, I’m the coach of the club so I’ll take responsibility but it’s also mine to fix.” There’s work.” I got the hang of it last week that got the Bulldogs into the game. Maybe I was too optimistic. Today there were men against boys, it was shameful”.
Brisbane started the 2020 NRL season with two consecutive victories against North Queensland and former Siebold team South Sydney. Brisbane maintained 5th place during round two of the season before being suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Australia. At the resumption of the season on 28 May, Brisbane were beaten 34–6 by the Parramatta Eels. The following week, Brisbane were again on the wrong end of a big score line, losing 59–0 to Sydney Roasters. It broke the record for the biggest defeat in Broncos history. Brisbane lost four more matches in a row, before beating the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-8 in Round 9, breaking the Broncos’ six-game losing streak and giving them their third and final win for the 2020 season. Brisbane lost the next four matches against West Tigers, Melbourne, Cronulla-Sutherland and Souths. After the Round 13 loss against South Sydney, Siebold took a leave of absence to live with his family in Sydney, with Peter Gentle taking over as coaching.
Coaching record
As a player, Anthony Siebold made his NRL debut with the Broncos in 1992. He later joined Canberra Raiders before making the move to the English Super League to play for the London Broncos and Hull Kingston Rovers. He retired from rugby league professionally in 2005.
Anthony Siebold began his coaching career with the Celtic Crusaders in Wales as their assistant coach, helping lead the club to its first season at Super League level.
Following his stint with the Crusaders, he took on his first head coach role with the South Wales Scorpions in 2010, making a significant impact by reaching the play-offs in his first season at the club.
Anthony Siebold returned to Australia in 2012, coaching the McKay Cutters in the Queensland Cup before being appointed as assistant coach at the Melbourne Storm and later Manly Warringh Sea Eagles.
