The 14-year mentor met with senior Sydney players on Tuesday to discuss his future, per Seven’s Mitch Cleary.
The Swans have scheduled a ‘major club announcement’ for 1:30pm.
Morris added Longmire’s call was only made ‘in the last week or two’ amid a long-mooted succession plan involving right-hand man Dean Cox.
As coach, Longmire coached Sydney to a premiership in his second year in charge but has since gone on to post a 1-4 record in grand finals — including this year’s demoralising 60-point defeat to the Brisbane Lions.
Longmire holds an overall record of 194-3-108 and a winning clip of 64.1 per cent.
MORE TO COME.
