Coaching career

[edit]

Economidis guided the Gold Coast to finals glory in 1997, they beat the Illawarra Steelers 25-14 in front of just 8,197 dedicated fans at Parramatta Stadium, believed to be the lowest ever finals series attendance for the ARL/NRL.

Economidis also assisted in "Coach Talk", inside the sixth edition of Shamrock's Rugby League book.[1]

Throughout his ARL career with the Gold Coast Chargers, he guided the club to 20 victories from 69 starts, a percentage of 29%, the highest of any Gold Coast coach pre Gold Coast Titans.
