Michael Cheika will step down as Leicester Tigers head coach when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 57-year-old took the job in summer 2024 on a one-year deal after being appointed just a week after fellow Australian Dan McKellar left by mutual consent.

Tigers, who are fourth in the Premiership table and have reached the last 16 of the European Champions Cup, are now looking for their ninth new head coach in less than nine years.

Tom Varndell is a Former Tigers and England Wing and matchday summariser on 大象传媒 Radio Leicester, and spoke to Kelly Hinch.
