Des Hasler and the Titans are set to part ways.
According to The Daily Telegraph’s Michael Carayannis, the veteran coach will not be at the helm on the Gold Coast in 2026.
It comes amid a disappointing season for the Queensland-based club, who sit in last place with four wins from 15 matches.
The decision is set to be announced in the coming days.

"It’ll be called a retirement, but it’s a mutual understanding," Carayannis said on SEN's Vossy & Brandy on Wednesday morning.
"The Titans can call it whatever they like, but Des won’t be the coach next season.
"It’s been an absolute failure."
Hasler joined the Titans in 2024 before overseeing a 14th-place finish.
Despite being contracted until the end of 2026, he is set to exit the club early.
In May, it was revealed that the Titans would be "under no obligation" to keep the 64-year-old if they didn't qualify to play finals footy.
With a top-eight berth now increasingly unlikely, the pin has seemingly been pulled.
Should he officially retire, Hasler will conclude his coaching career as a two-time premiership winner with Manly.
