Lancaster was put in charge after impressing during an interim stint.
The then 42-year-old was permanently appointed following a spell in interim charge during which England finished second in the Six Nations.
Lancaster replaced Martin Johnson in the role after the former England captain resigned in the wake of a disappointing World Cup campaign in 2011.He was appointed on a four-year contract and would lead England into their home Rugby World Cup in 2015. “Being head coach of your national team in any sport , but to do it at a time when we’ve got a World Cup in our own country is a huge, huge honour,” Lancaster said following his appointment.
“It’s a very proud day for myself and my family, but it’s not about me, it’s about the team and the connection between the team and the English public.”Lancaster resigned from his role in November 2015 following a dismal World Cup campaign. His side became the first host nation to fail to get out of the pool stages following defeats to Wales and Australia.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
