The Rabbitohs board convened twice on Tuesday, deferring a decision on Demetriou's future until a second meeting in the evening, when chairman Nick Pappas could be looped in from London.
After that second meeting, third-year coach Demetriou was told he would be terminated after the side's 1-6 start to 2024.
The perennial heavyweights also crashed out of finals contention under Demetriou's watch last year, losing seven of their last 10 games.
The club has yet to publicly confirm its coach for Thursday's clash against Penrith.
