Justin Langer was left furious when he was told by Cricket Australia bosses that he would have to re-apply for his current role as head coach despite spending the last three years in the role.
Langer boasts a strong winning record in recent times, having guided the national team to T20 World Cup success and overseen the demolition of England in the Ashes series.
However, according to reports in Australia, not all is well behind the scenes and the 51-year-old could find himself out of a job later this year.
