La fédération galloise de rugby a annoncé mardi, en plein Tournoi des Six Nations, se séparer du sélectionneur Warren Gatland après une longue série de quatorze défaites, dont la dernière samedi en Italie.

Après un premier mandat brillant (2007-2019), le Néo-Zélandais de 61 ans n’a pas réussi à redresser la barre d’une équipe galloise à la dérive, privée de victoire depuis le 7 octobre 2023 contre la Géorgie en conclusion de la phase de groupes au Mondial.

« La WRU et Warren ont convenu qu’il était dans l’intérêt de l’équipe du pays de Galles de procéder à ce changement maintenant, alors qu’elle continue à participer au Tournoi des six nations 2025 », a commenté Abi Tierney, la directrice générale de la fédération, dans un communiqué.

« Nous sommes reconnaissants envers Warren pour tout ce qu’il a fait pour le rugby gallois. Il reste notre sélectionneur le plus capé et le plus décoré au regard du nombre de trophées remportés », a-t-elle ajouté.

L’entraîneur de Cardiff Matt Sherratt sélectionneur intérimaire

L’actuel entraîneur de Cardiff, l’Anglais Matt Sherratt, assurera l’intérim uniquement pour les trois derniers matchs du Tournoi contre l’Irlande, l’Écosse puis l’Angleterre.

La fédération espère nommer un nouveau sélectionneur avant la tournée d’été prévue au Japon, a-t-elle indiqué.

Sous contrat jusqu’en 2027, Gatland était revenu à la tête de la sélection galloise en début d’année 2023 en vue de la Coupe du Monde.

Après un Tournoi des Six Nations décevant (une victoire contre l’Italie et quatre défaites), le pays de Galles a fait un sans-faute au premier tour du Mondial, en battant au passage l’Australie 40 à 6.

Mais la défaite en quarts de finale contre l’Argentine, ensuite, a lancé la série de quatorze défaites d’affilée qui s’est prolongée samedi à Rome (22-15), huit jours après une correction face aux Bleus (43-0).

Après les test-matchs de l’automne, son licenciement a été envisagé par la fédération qui, finalement, lui a accordé un sursis en décembre.

Le second mandat de Gatland contraste à tous points de vue avec le premier, débuté en décembre 2007 et terminé en octobre 2019 sur une demi-finale de Coupe du monde, la deuxième après celle de 2011.

Durant cette période, le Néo-Zélandais et les Gallois ont gagné quatre titres aux Six Nations, dont trois Grands Chelems (2008, 2012 et 2019).

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin.
