BREAKING: Wales SACK Warren Gatland after disastrous start to Six Nations campaign Warren Gatland has departed his role as Wales head coach by mutual agreement.
Defeat to Italy in Rome on Saturday was the 14th consecutive international reverse for the Welsh, with Cardiff Rugby head coach Matt Sherratt appointed as interim boss for the remainder of the Six Nations.
Welsh Rugby Union CEO Abi Tierney said: “The WRU and Warren have agreed that making this change now is in the best interests of the Wales squad as it continues to compete in the 2025 Six Nations tournament.
It is a credit to him that he has not hesitated to answer Wales’s call and is also testament to the strong relationship that now exists throughout the Welsh professional game that Cardiff Rugby are fully supportive of the move.
Wales' last win came in the pool stages of the Rugby World Cup in 2023 against Georgia with Gatland unable to revive the nation's fortunes as a number of their legendary figures call time on their careers.
