Coleman joins Waratahs in Super Rugby on 3-year deal
July 1, 2021 GMT
SYDNEY (AP) Darren Coleman is leaving the Major League Rugby-leading L.A. Giltinis to take over as head coach of the New South Wales Waratahs on a three-year contract.
The Sydney-based Waratahs struggled with an inexperienced squad and placed last after 13 consecutive losses in the 2021 Super Rugby season. Rob Penney was fired as head coach in March, leaving assistants Jason Gilmore and Chris Whitaker to guide the team on an interim basis.
The 48-year-old Coleman had coaching stints at three clubs in Sydney’s elite competition before guiding Warringah to the Shute Shield title in 2017. The following season he took over the then-last place Gordon Highlanders and guided the club to the title in 2020.
