New Zealand Rugby on Wednesday launched their hunt for the next All Blacks coach, as incumbent Ian Foster confirmed he would not be reapplying for the position after the World Cup.
The coach will take charge of the All Blacks from 2024 onwards, with Foster’s tenure ending after this year’s World Cup in France.
“This is particularly important in a global rugby environment where there is significant competition for elite coaching talent,” New Zealand Rugby chairperson Patsy Reddy said in a statement.Foster came under pressure last year following a string of erratic All Blacks performances, including a series defeat to Ireland and their first loss at home to Argentina.
“A particular frustration is that there seems to be a focus on setting timetables based on what some preferred candidates feel is right for them versus potentially what is right for this All Blacks team,” he told Newstalk ZB radio.
