Kevin Walters has been sacked as head coach of the Brisbane Broncos.
Less than 12 months after taking the side to a grand final, the club legend has been dumped, according to multiple reports including The Sydney Morning Herald.
Many expected the Broncos to compete for a premiership once again, but injuries and off-season departures saw them drop to 12th spot on the NRL ladder.
Brisbane undertook an extensive review after the results of this season and have decided to part ways with Walters, who had two years to run on his contract.
Walters coached 99 first games and recorded 50 wins during his three-year tenure.
An official announcement is expected from Brisbane soon.
The club will now begin a search for a new head coach, with the likes of Josh Hannay, Michael Maguire and Brad Arthur expected to be leading candidates.
Trent Barrett and Ben Te’o had been brought into the club as assistants for the 2025 campaign, with both former Origin players also potential options for the top job.
