fresh report in Australia<\/a>, which speculates that Maguire has a tentative interest in succeeding Shaun Wane should the Rugby Football League decide to sever ties with the current England boss.<\/p>\nWane\u2019s position is not understood to be under immediate threat, but a review of the series with the RFL may further intensity pressure on whether he is the right man to lead the national team into the World Cup next year.<\/p>\n
And that has led reports Down Under to suggest that Maguire, who has history in the international arena with New Zealand, could now emerge as a potential frontrunner to lead England going into that tournament.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Maguire \u2013 who is preparing to lead Brisbane in next year\u2019s World Club Challenge against Hull KR \u2013 is heading for the United Kingdom on a coaching development course which he will combine with a fact-finding mission ahead of the clash with the Super League champions.<\/p>\n
That could lead to talks with the RFL if the opportunity arises, though Wane was adamant post-match at Headingley on Saturday afternoon that he believes he is the right man to take charge of England in 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe (I am the right man for the job) \u2013 I know I am,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n
Wane has had a strong showing of support from a number of leading domestic players including captain George Williams, who himself reiterated his support for the England head coach to continue after the series whitewash was confirmed on Saturday.<\/p>\n
But the nature of England\u2019s performances have understandably brought the direction of the team under scrutiny, and it now appears a fresh name has emerged.<\/p>\n
Whether Maguire would be completely and fully interested remains to be seen, but he is unlikely to be the last name linked to the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Wigan Warriors coach and current Brisbane Broncos boss Michael Maguire is interested in becoming the next England…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-273691","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
