Jason Demetriou has been sacked as the South Sydney Rabbitohs coach.
The club opted to terminate his coaching contract just eight rounds into the 2024 NRL season.
His departure follows back-to-back losses for the club.
“The Board and management feel that now is the time to make a change to the leadership of our football program in terms of the head coaching role,” Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly said in a statement.
“There is no doubting Jason’s work ethic or his drive for success, but unfortunately, that success has not been forthcoming over the past 12 months.”
Assistant Coach Ben Hornby is set to take over as interim coach for the remainder of the season.
However, speculation is growing that former Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett could be returning to the club as his contact with the Dolphins concludes at the end of this year.

Guess what I woke up this morning and the world has not ended.
bro that was just stupid, JD took Souths to another prelim on his first year. Mitchell and co just sat back in the ‘23 season after doing all the work and now look where they are.
On Thursday night's dinner for the Penrith Panthers… Rabbit Stew
Are you going to blame albo for this too???
He was sacrificed to keep the player big heads satisfied and in control. Bennett will not return without savage contract guarantees. Two of Souths owners have more money than beach sand and it shows.
The problem doesn't lie with the coach alone, but sadly there is such a thing as command responsibility–coaches are deemed responsible for their players' lack of progress 🙁
Once again a good coach is sacked. While the players take no blame.
Souths have only won two games since August last year when Sam bailed out, Sam is doing great in England, as they say, you get what you ask for, they should have listened to Sam, hey Russell.
Another good coach who had his career derailed by spoilt princess players. Shame
Two types of scenario, beta for the club, or beta for the players
Half the players need to go as well Latrell Mitchel first
Brad Arthur next
Latrell wanted to be captain coach
Blaming the coach when the players are lemons certainly won't solve the problem. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear
Its upto the Players their Attitudes and pride and to listen and train hard and play hard.They is an Old saying Train Hard Fight Easy so come those players who are letting the team and they know who they are Pull your Bloody fingers out
All Sport is scripted nonsense stem from the Colosseum to distract when do people f+-king learn
Any coach knows you’re only as good as your last win .
If you have a slavery servitude position aka employed paying tax you are a brainless drongo
Did you read the Act no obligation to pay start reading start learning not f+-king hard
If you drive a car within this country without reading the Act you are a brainless drongo not knowing you have no obligation to acquire Registration or a Licence
My sources say that Lydia Thorpe is going to be the next souths coach and take them to a DEI premiership to counter Penriths unfair rugby league supremacy.
Other breaking news Fox is about to be taken to court for defamation by Hunter Biden. He's had enough of the lies. Fox is paying out $800 million in damages to Dominion Voting for its lies. A grubby 'news' channel that finds it ok to lie and defame.
Would have nothing to do with alleged superstars would it? Souths deserve all the failure they are going to have this year .
And this is news
Who cares move on
