Michael Maguire has reportedly been released from his contract with the New South Wales Rugby League to take on the head coaching duties at the Brisbane Broncos.
The news, as reported by zerotackle.com, has thrown a Blues bombshell into the Rugby League world.
Maguire, who was set to stay with the Blues until next year, dropped the bombshell on Monday, informing the board of his decision to accept the head coaching role offered by the Broncos.
The Broncos, in a bold move, decided to make a call on Kevin Walters last week after the team failed to make it into the finals this season, marking a dramatic downfall for the club since their 2023 NRL Grand Final appearance, where they fell short against the Penrith Panthers.
Despite Walters' hopes for more time in charge, a harsh internal review led to his departure as head coach.
The Broncos spun his exit as a voluntary step down from the role, while he will still serve as an ambassador for the club.
Maguire's move to the Broncos marks a new chapter in his coaching career, as he takes on the challenge of leading the Brisbane team to success in the upcoming seasons.
The Rugby League world will be watching closely as Maguire navigates this new opportunity with the Broncos.
