OITA, Japan - Australia coach Michael Cheika said on Sunday he would not seek to be re-appointed when his contract expires at the end of 2019, bringing an end to his often troubled five years in charge.
Cheika, nicknamed ‘Cheik’, had previously said he would step down if Australia did not improve on their run to the final in 2015 and win the World Cup for a third time in Japan. New Zealander Dave Rennie, the former coach of the Waikato Chiefs and current Glasgow Warriors boss, has been strongly linked with the post in the Australian media.
The former number eight found the task of rebuilding his Wallabies squad after a rash of retirements more difficult, however, and he blooded dozens of players over the next three seasons. “Scott’s a lovely bloke and I get on fine with him but I’m not really into that type of thing, I like to take that responsibility.”
