Des Hasler has thrashed out details of a stunning return to Manly on Monday but a twist in the Sea Eagles’ search for a new coach has emerged. Hasler met with his manager George Mimis on Monday after Manly chairman Scott Penn confirmed the club’s former premiership-winning coach is a contender for the vacancy. “I haven’t signed any deal,” Hasler said. “I’ve just arrived back from overseas and obviously I have the desire, I’d like to coach in the NRL again.
“And that’s the chance this offers me. Basically it was just a matter of being briefed and catching up about the possibility of coaching at Manly again.” While 7 News Sydney’s Liam Cox reports Mimis is finalising a deal with Manly chief executive Lyall Gorman, 7 News Brisbane’s Chris Garry has revealed a spanner in the works. Broncos assistant Jason Demetriou has been put forward by Wayne Bennett as the man to replace him in the hot seat at Brisbane after next season.However, Garry reports that Demetriou is still in the running for the Sea Eagles’ gig after multiple interviews. The 42-year-old former player will be interviewed by Brisbane to replace Bennett, who was told last month that he would not receive an extension to coach beyond 2019. But Demetriou would find it difficult to turn down a formal offer from Manly this month.
