Kearney departs Parramatta



Stephen Kearney's tumultuous time in charge of Parramatta is over after the embattled coach parted ways with the club.
The Eels will hold a press conference on Friday morning to confirm Kearney's departure.
It is understood Kearney met with club officials on Wednesday when it was decided he would not fulfil his contract, which was to expire at the end of the 2013 season.
The New Zealand Test coach will leave his post immediately, with assistant coaches Chris Anderson and Brad Arthur to take charge for Saturday night's clash against Melbourne Storm.
Kearney has won just nine of 41 games since taking charge of the Eels at the start of 2011.
NSW coach Ricky Stuart and former Eels boss Jason Taylor have already been mentioned as possible long-term replacements for Kearney.
The Eels are last on the NRL ladder and look destined to finish with the wooden spoon for the first time in 41 years.
