Cheika appointed Leicester head coach
Written by I Dig Sports
Leicester Tigers have appointed former Australia and Argentina boss Michael Cheika as their head coach.
The 57-year-old succeeds fellow Australian Dan McKellar at the Premiership side, with the former ACT Brumbies boss leaving by mutual consent last week.
Cheika, who guided Leinster to European glory with a win against Leicester in the 2009 Heineken Cup final, left his post with Argentina after guiding the Pumas to a fourth-placed finish at last year's Rugby World Cup.
"Honestly, I wasn't looking at the Premiership and didn't have the desire to coach in it until Leicester Tigers came to me," Cheika told the club website., external
"But, the opportunity to coach at Tigers and lead this group of players turned my head."
