The Rabbitohs say they have no regrets about terminating Jason Demetriou's contract in the wake of the club's disastrous start to the NRL season.
Wayne Bennett has been linked with a return to the Rabbitohs as head coachThe board met from 8am on Tuesday to hear Demetriou pitch for his job, before reconvening in the evening and unanimously deciding to terminate his contract.
"Unfortunately, we didn't think that Jason's coaching style would be able to get the change that we needed or the improvement we needed," Solly said. "I'm talking about the whole of the squad and ensuring that every player in the squad can perform at their best." Ben Hornby, who was an assistant to Demetriou, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Demetriou, who was an assistant coach under Bennett, took over the following season and led the Rabbitohs to a preliminary final appearance in 2022.
