Former South Sydney Rabbitohs head coach Jason Demetriou has broken his silence after being sacked by the club recently with whispers getting louder Wayne Bennett is returning to Redfern in 2025.

Demetriou, however, says he is already preparing for his next job and will be keeping a close eye on the premiership as the season goes on.

“I love the game, I love giving back to the game and I don’t hold a bitterness towards South Sydney,” Demetriou told The Daily Telegraph.

“In these last few days I’ve been able to reflect on so many things I’m proud of as a coach and the other side of that is that there are so many learnings that I take away from the tough times.

“What I’m not going to do is sit still, I’m going to keep learning, I’m going to be watching every game, breaking down the trends both technically and tactically.

“I’m sure when the next opportunity comes along, I’ll be ready to hit the ground running.”
