Manly-based NRL team, the Sea Eagles have decided to give former coach Des Handler the sack, with one term left in his contract.
The team had experienced a turbulent season, with seven of the team's best players withdrawing from matches to protest the inclusion of rainbow pride jerseys. Des Handler had also locked horns with the club over this.
His contract would have been extended into the 2024 season if if Manly had reached the top-six in 2022. Instead, he felt the pride jersey boycott ruined his chances of the contract getting renewed.
D'Arcy Waldegrave, host of Sportstalk, explained the termination further here.
