Edinburgh confirm head coach delay despite 'excellent' interest

Edinburgh have delayed the appointment of a head coach successor to Mike Blair, explaining that lead rugby consultant Steve Diamond will instead oversee pre-season preparations for the 2023/24 campaign until at least August.

It was February 24 when Blair, who took charge in the summer of 2021, revealed his intention to step down as head coach due to his desire “to put my energy and knowledge into being a world-class attack coach”.

At the time of that announcement, Scottish Rugby CEO Mark Dodson said: “We are in discussions with Edinburgh and Douglas Struth to find a new head coach for the club, who will update the fans further once this is completed.”

Nearly 10 weeks later that update has now arrived via a statement from managing director Douglas Struth that was published on the Edinburgh club website. In it, he praised the contribution of Blair and explained why the club wasn’t rushing to appoint his successor.

“An ongoing process is the recruitment of our new head coach with Mike Blair having taken the positive, brave and proactive decision to step back from the role at the end of this season. A huge thank you to Mike for all his efforts over the past two years,” said Struth.

“The quality of interest in the head coach role has been excellent. While we would hope to conclude this process very soon, it is important for the future of the club to get this right, and not to rush. For that reason, Steve Diamond has agreed to oversee the start of our pre-season programme until at least August.

“This allows us to take the necessary time to appoint a permanent head coach, safe in the certainty and security that a coach of Steve’s quality and experience is leading from the front meantime, accompanied by the stability of existing assistant coaches Michael Todd and the recently re-signed Steve Lawrie.”

The MD added: “Our playing group for next season is looking world-class and around 90 per cent Scottish-qualified – an important part of our strategy to ensure that local players can become legends here at Edinburgh.”

Over five years ago, I lost access to two of my crypto wallets, which I hadn’t used in years. These wallets contained valuable crypto assets, but I had completely forgotten the passwords, recovery phrases, and security questions. After trying everything I could think of to regain access, I was left feeling hopeless, thinking my assets were gone forever. That’s when I came across ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ), and I can honestly say they changed the course of my life. Initially, I was skeptical. The idea of recovering forgotten crypto wallets seemed almost impossible. However, from the first moment I contacted the team, I felt a sense of hope. The staff was incredibly professional, empathetic, and genuinely dedicated to helping me recover my wallets. They took the time to fully understand my situation, offering clear explanations and reassuring me that they could assist. The recovery process wasn’t immediate, but it was methodical and thorough. The team worked diligently, guiding me through every step of the process and explaining things in a way I could easily understand. At times, I felt frustrated, especially given how long it had been since I last used the wallets. But the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team remained patient, offering constant support, and helping me stay focused on the end goal. They made sure I felt secure throughout the entire process, which provided me with the confidence I needed to continue. Finally, after several weeks of hard work, I regained access to my wallets. It was an overwhelming and life-changing moment. Not only did I recover my crypto assets, but I also felt an immense sense of relief and accomplishment. What I thought was lost forever was now back in my hands. Thanks to the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team, I’m incredibly thankful for ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) expertise and dedication.
