(Reuters) – The Argentine Rugby Union (UAR) announced on Monday that former Argentina flyhalf Felipe Contepomi will take over as head coach, replacing Australian Michael Cheika.
After reaching an agreement with the UAR, Cheika made the decision to step down, with his Los Pumas assistant Contepomi set to continue the project. Contepomi, who earned 87 caps as a player for Argentina, will now lead the team as head coach.
Contepomi’s appointment comes after Argentina’s fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup.
Cheika, who took on the role in March 2022, led Los Pumas in 24 test matches, posting 11 wins and 13 defeats.
