Green makes immediate exit from Cowboys
North Queensland coach Paul Green will exit the Cowboys with 18 months to run on his contract, effective immediately.
An announcement from the club confirmed the news after Green told players and staff of the move on Monday morning.
"After seven years as head coach it is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement," Green said.
"The board felt that the club was at a juncture where they needed to move in a different direction, and I can only respect their views.
"Whilst this is obviously disappointing news, I am grateful to the board for allowing me to lead this club whilst creating some lifelong memories.
"I will use this next period to freshen up, spend some time with my family and assess options before moving on to my next coaching role."
Green was contracted to the Cowboys until the end of 2022 but will depart early after underwhelming returns in recent seasons have followed the club's historic 2015 premiership.
Assistant coach Josh Hannay will take charge for the remainder of the season as the Cowboys "undertake a thorough recruitment process" for a longterm successor.
"I'm pleased the club is providing an opportunity for Josh Hannay and David Tangata-Toa to stretch themselves in the coming weeks and thank them, our football staff and our players for their support," Green said.
"We have some terrific young players coming through our system which will set up the club for further success in the future.
"I'd also like to thank all of those who aided in delivering the club’s first premiership to the North Queensland community - being a part of that historical season is something I will always treasure."
North Queensland showed glimpses of their future with youngsters Daejarn Asi and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow playing strongly on Sunday against Penrith but were outclassed by the Panthers 22-10.
The loss means they are 12th at the halfway point of the rescheduled season with a 3-7 record.
Long-term injuries to captain Michael Morgan and star recruit Valentine Holmes have hampered their 2020 campaign.
Chairman Lewis Ramsay thanked Green for his pivotal contribution to the club.
"Paul has spearheaded some remarkable achievements during his time with us and we will be forever thankful for the club-defining moments he has generated,” Ramsay said.
