Ken Gentle is an Australian former rugby league coach for the Western Suburbs Magpies.
[1] Gentle served his coaching apprenticeship with Kiama, which he guided to a premiership in 1969.
[2] He had charge of Canterbury-Bankstown junior sides during the 1970s, culminating in SG Ball and Jersey Flegg premierships in 1978 and 1979 respectively.
[3] At the end of the 1983 season, Gentle took over from Len Stacker as first-grade coach of Western Suburbs.
He was appointed during a tumultuous pre-season, losing several of his players to rival clubs as the result of a decision by the NSWRL, later reversed, to omit them from the competition.
