Welsh rugby: Who could replace Warren Gatland as next Wales head coach?

Advertisements

As Welsh rugby comes to terms with the sudden departure of Warren Gatland, the search is on to replace the most successful coach in its history.

This will be the first appointment by Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) chief executive Abi Tierney and the pressure is on to get it right.

Welsh rugby, she admits, is at a low ebb and while the problems run deeper than the head coach, the feel-good factor starts – or ends – with the national team.

Despite the side’s lowly position, the WRU firmly believes landing one of the traditional big names of world rugby remains appealing.

And the belief that – surely – the only way is up, could prove appealing.

Cardiff’s Matt Sherratt will steer Wales through the remainder of the Six Nations but has already ruled himself out of the job long term.

The WRU want the new boss to lead the tour to Japan in July and are also looking for a new director of rugby to replace Nigel Walker.

So who could ultimately replace Gatland?
