Justin Langer's job as national men's coach appears to be in risk just four days after being welcomed into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.


Langer, whose four-year coaching contract expires in June, said he wasn't "on edge" about his job, despite reports that he still lacks the complete support of the players and senior management. After scheduled conversations with Cricket Australia, he anticipated getting his future straightened out.

But on Monday evening, reports emerged that Langer had been informed he might need to reapply for his job, much to the West Australian’s dismay.


Foxsports.com.au reported that Langer reacted angrily when the possibility of him reapplying for the coaching role was raised by CA chief executive Nick Hockley and head of performance Ben Oliver during a heated meeting on Friday morning.


According to the News Corp report, Langer is refusing to accept anything less than a full contract renewal, arguing his record warrants another multi-year deal. The CA board is reportedly uncertain over Langer’s reappointment.


“Justin is contracted as Head Coach through to the middle of this year and we have consistently maintained discussions around the future of the role would commence following the conclusion of the men’s Ashes Series,” a CA spokesman said.


Langer took over from Darren Lehmann as Australia’s head coach in 2018 following the Cape Town ball-tampering saga.
