Warren Gatland to step down after 2019 Rugby World Cup

Warren Gatland confirmed yesterday that will relinquish his post as Wales boss after the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Wales’s longest-serving coach took the helm in 2007 and has claimed two Six Nations Grand Slams in his tenure.

The former Wasps boss plans to return home to New Zealand in 2019 and could yet make a long-term bid to coach the All Blacks.

“I’m here until 2019 and the plan for me then is definitely to come home for a period,” Gatland said.

“If I was involved in provincial rugby or Super Rugby, that would be great, but if I’m not, I may have to go to the beach for six months or 12 months, put my feet up and take a bit of a break.

“That’s the plan. I’ve been away for long enough. I’m 52, so hopefully I’ve got plenty more years left coaching.

“Post-2019 definitely the plan is to come back home to New Zealand.”

In December 2013 Gatland extended his current contract until after the 2019 World Cup.
