Manly coach Des Hasler may choose to quit his post with 12 months remaining on his contract as the club considers sweeping changes after missing the finals in 2022.
The Daily Telegraph reported Hasler will meet with the club this week where a raft of changes to his support staff will be floated after the team lost seven straight games to finish the season.
The meeting will determine if Hasler remains at the helm amid suggestions he has lost the support of the club’s senior management.

Hasler will have to decide between accepting the changes put forward by club management or elect to quit the club with a year remaining on his contract.
The club reportedly want to turn over Hasler’s coaching and support staff with assistant coaches Michael Monaghan and Chad Randall plus Hasler’s long-term support staff Noel Cleal and Don Singe at risk of being moved on.
Randall has been linked to a role under Cameron Ciraldo at the Bulldogs.
The club’s season fizzled out after the infamous Pride Jersey saga, despite denials of fractures within the club and playing group in the ugly fallout.

“Because of the team performance, we have to be open to change,” Mestrov told The Telegraph.
“If I came in and we were finishing sixth, I don’t think there would be the leverage to make change. But everything has been fast-tracked because of the performances.

“The owners want what I want – to have a successful football club, be financially better off and deliver what the fans and board want, which is a successful football team.
