Speculation surrounding Micheal Maguire's future as Wests Tigers coach has been put to bed with the club confirming he will remain at the helm.
It follows an exhaustive post-season review conducted around the Tigers' football department in the wake of this season's disappointing 13th place finish.
Despite being contracted until the end of 2023, there were strong suggestions that after over two years in the job Maguire would be sacked as Tigers officials look for quickfire solutions to their dire 10-year finals drought.
However, it was confirmed on Wednesday by the club Maguire would be spared the axe.
"Following the thorough annual review of club’s football operations, Wests Tigers have confirmed that Michael Maguire will remain in his position as Head Coach.
"In addition, the club has also confirmed several structural and procedural changes will take effect within the football department. These changes have the sole aim of ensuring the club continues to challenge itself in the way it operates in order to become a better performing organisation."
It ends weeks of scrutiny around Maguire's future, which was brought to a head when the Tigers finished their 2021 campaign with a humiliating 38-0 defeat to the Bulldogs.
