Rebels coach asked to re-apply for position
Melbourne Rebels coach Damien Hill has been asked to re-apply for his
Super Rugby position with his contract up at the end of the season, the
club said on Monday.
Sweeping changes are under way at the struggling Australian Super
Rugby club with the resignation on Monday of chief executive Steve
Boland and the appointment of retired Rebels scrum-half Sam Cordingley
to a newly-created role of rugby general manager.
Boland will finish up at the end of this month after 18 months in the
role following his elevation from deputy CEO.
The Rebels have won only two matches from eight so far this season
and there has also been off-field problems resulting in the indefinite
suspension of Wallabies fly-half Kurtley Beale.
While Hill said he was interested in staying on at the Rebels, he was
yet to make a final decision on his future.
"The players and the whole organisation have worked very hard to date
and there's a lot more to do," Hill told the Australian Associated
Press.
"We lost around 700 caps of combined Super and Test rugby with the
roster changes for this year so we knew there were going to be
challenges. "However we're injecting youth for the long-term development
of the club.
