Langer and Walters are great mates and have worked together for years at NRL and State of Origin level.
Broncos legend Allan Langer is reportedly considering his future at the club after Kevin Walters’ sacking as coach. Langer and Walters are great mates and have worked together over the last four seasons at the Broncos.
But Walters’ departure has rocked Langer, and according to the Courier Mail the Queensland icon has admitted he’s weighing up his future at the club. Langer played 240 games for the Broncos and won multiple premierships alongside Walters during their careers.
Langer has worked as an assistant coach and trainer under Walters since he took over the head coaching role in 2020, and previously worked with him when Walters was Queensland State of Origin boss. Langer is reportedly overseas with his family at the moment, but is said to be considering where his future lies.
Michael Maguire is the front-runner to take over from Walters in 2025, and he’d be a brave man to send Langer packing. It’s common for new coaches to bring their own staff with them when they arrive at clubs, and the previous assistants are often sent packing.
Trent Barrett and Ben Te’o have already been appointed assistants for 2025, but it remains to be seen whether Maguire is keen to keep Langer on. Maguire is facing a tricky decision in that regard, as parting ways with Langer would almost anger the entire state of Queensland and the Broncos’ old boys.
Anthony Seibold previously stated that Langer and fellow Broncos legend Darren Lockyer were untouchable during his time as Brisbane coach, such is their standing in Queensland. And the fact Maguire is from NSW and coached the Blues to victory this year makes it even harder
