BUENOS AIRES : Mario Ledesma resigned as coach of the Argentine rugby team on Wednesday, saying a run of poor results meant it was time for change at the top of the Pumas organisation.
The 48-year-old former hooker with French club Clermont Auvergne took over as head coach in August 2018, winning eight, drawing three and losing 22 of his games in charge. However, those recent results obscured some significant triumphs. Under Ledesma, the Pumas beat the All Blacks for the first time and recorded their first win over the Wallabies since 1983.
