Jason Demetriou Dismissed as South Sydney Coach After Poor Performance

The decision follows a series of losses and internal disputes, marking a critical point for the NRL club.

Jason Demetriou has been sacked as head coach of South Sydney due to the team's poor performance, including a 1-6 start to the 2024 NRL season.
The decision was made after multiple meetings by the club's board, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with Demetriou's leadership and strategic choices.
Internal conflicts, including disagreements with assistant coaches and mismanagement of player relations, contributed to his dismissal.
South Sydney is now considering several candidates for the coaching role, with Wayne Bennett, a former coach, being a potential successor.
The club aims to reverse its fortunes quickly, avoiding a complete rebuild and capitalizing on its current roster.
