The former St Helens coach, Daniel Anderson, has been sacked by Parramatta after two years in charge of the Eels.
Parramatta issued a statement confirming the news today amid reports they are to begin negotiations to appoint New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney, an assistant with Melbourne Storm, as Anderson’s replacement.
The Parramatta chairman, Roy Spagnolo, said in a statement: “This is one of those very tough decisions but we feel it is the right one, considering the best interests of the club’s long-term development.”
Anderson, a former New Zealand coach, guided St Helens to their last Super League title in 2006 and a hat-trick of Challenge Cup final victories in his three and a half years at Knowsley Road.
He was Super League coach of the year in 2006 and 2007.
