Warren Gatland leaves Wales midway through Six Nations after long losing run The New Zealand has overseen a run of 14 consecutive defeats to bring an end to his second stint in charge.
Warren Gatland has left his role as Wales head coach by mutual consent just two rounds into the Six Nations after a disastrous run of 14 consecutive defeats.
Cardiff coach Matt Sherratt has been placed in interim charge through to the end of the Six Nations, with the WRU intending to appoint a permanent successor to Gatland before the two-Test tour of Japan in July.
“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," said WRU chief executive Abi Tierney.
Ahead of the first fallow weekend, the WRU has wielded the scythe to remove the 61-year-old from his role just two months after giving him their backing after a disastrous Autumn Nations Series campaign that saw the side beaten by Fiji, Australia and South Africa.
