The five-year tenure as Australia head trainer of michael Cheika will be over after he chose to not seek reappointment after the Wallabies Rugby World Cup exit to England.
Cheika had said he would step down if Australia did not improve in their run but flocked to England to reporters inquiring about his potential following Saturdays 40-16 defeat in Oita.
Together with the 52-year-olds contract expiring at the conclusion of the championship, Cheikas passing from the role is instant.
I have asked the question in the media conference, you wouldve been listening and there, about what is going to happen going forward and in the time I was not keen to reply but I always knew that the answer in my mind, I just wished to speak to my buddy and inform a few folks up there about it, Cheika said.
I place my chips in earlier in the year I advised people no triumph, no drama.
So, Im the type of man whos always going to back what he says and that I understood from the final whistle but I only wanted to give it a bit of time to cool down, speak with my folks and make it clear.
New Zealander Dave Rennie, the trainer of the Waikato Chiefs and Glasgow Warriors boss, has been connected with the post in the Australian media.
