Club confirmation. Hornby takes over:


The South Sydney Rabbitohs have terminated the coaching contract of Head Coach Jason Demetriou today, effective immediately.

Following a meeting of the Football Club Board, in conjunction with club management, it has been decided that the Club needs to go in a new direction with its coaching following a less-than-satisfactory series of results over the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Rabbitohs CEO, Blake Solly, said: "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.

"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.

"We wish Jason, his wife Natalie and his daughters the very best of luck in the future and we thank him for his service to our Club over the past five-and-a-half years."

Ben Hornby will take control of the team as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2024 season.

He had to go, but the club couldn't have handled it any worse if they got Hagipantelis and Pascoe in to handle it

Amateur hour, honestly

By the sounds of it they made him rock up at 6.30am to give a presentation on why he should keep his job, train the team and face the media without knowing whether he still had the job then finally make the call 12 hours later. Interesting way to prepare for a game against the premiers in 2 days time.

Bennett coming back is a stop gap solution anyway

three years down the track the same happens when burgess gets the top job

3 year coaching deals just don’t work for bennett

Cody walker should be let go too

illas would make a good 9 if they wanted
To keep him
