Former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has signed as the new head coach of English rugby club Leicester, just days after former Brumbies coach Dan McKellar was sacked by the Premiership outfit.The Tigers announced on Thursday night they had signed Cheika on a deal of unspecified length. He will be joining the club with immediate effect and be head coach for the 2024/25 season, at least.
As the club’s only premiership-winning coach, Cheika was immediately touted as a potential saviour for the club after they claimed the wooden spoon and informed Darren Coleman his contract wasn’t going to be renewed. Based on his success with Lebanon in the Rugby League World Cup, he is now routinely included as an option for NRL clubs who are searching for a coach.
