This news comes as a shock to many in the rugby league community, as Maguire has been seen as a strong candidate for both coaching positions.
The prospect of leading the Blues to State of Origin glory and continuing his success with the Kiwis had fans and officials alike excited for the future.
However, it seems that Maguire will now have to make a difficult decision about which role to pursue.
The Daily Telegraph's report indicates that the NZRL is firm in their stance, leaving Maguire with a tough choice ahead.
It remains to be seen which path he will ultimately choose, but one thing is for certain - this development has certainly thrown a spanner in the works for Maguire's coaching aspirations.
