Persatuan Rugby Welsh telah mengonfirmasi bahwa Warren Gatland akan kembali sebagai pelatih kepala untuk menggantikan Wayne Pivac setelah tinjauan Seri Bangsa Musim Gugur 2022
Warren Gatland telah ditunjuk kembali sebagai pelatih kepala Wales setelah pemecatan Wayne Pivac.
Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) mengonfirmasi keputusan tersebut pada hari Senin setelah meninjau penampilan tim Seri Negara Musim Gugur, mengumumkan kesepakatan yang dapat mempertahankan peran Gatland hingga setelah Piala Dunia Rugbi 2027.
Gatland mengundurkan diri sebagai bos Wales setelah 12 tahun bertugas setelah Piala Dunia Rugbi 2019, tetapi Pivac sesama Selandia Baru telah gagal mempertahankan standar tinggi yang ditetapkan selama masa jabatan rekan senegaranya dan akibatnya kehilangan kesempatan untuk memimpin tim ke Piala Dunia edisi 2023. turnamen.
Pelatih berusia 59 tahun, yang telah memimpin masing-masing dari tiga tur terakhir Lions Inggris dan Irlandia, juga dikaitkan dengan menggantikan Eddie Jones sebagai pelatih Inggris, tetapi akhirnya memilih untuk kembali ke Wales.
“Ini adalah salah satu seruan terberat dalam olahraga, tetapi proses peninjauan telah mencapai kesimpulannya dan kami telah bertindak cepat dan efisien demi kepentingan terbaik tim nasional kami,” kata kepala eksekutif WRU Phillips.
“Pada akhirnya kami berada dalam bisnis hasil dan kami telah sepakat dengan Wayne bahwa lintasan saat ini untuk Wales tidak seperti yang kami inginkan dan kami berterima kasih kepadanya dengan tulus atas waktu, antusiasme, ketekunan, dan usahanya, yang tidak perlu dipertanyakan lagi, sebagai pelatih kepala. selama tiga tahun terakhir.”
Gatland, yang memimpin Wales ke tiga Grand Slam Enam Negara dan dua semifinal Piala Dunia Rugbi selama masa jabatan pertamanya, telah meninggalkan perannya sebagai direktur rugby di sisi Rugby Super Selandia Baru untuk kembali.
“Saya sangat menantikan untuk kembali melatih Wales,” kata Gatland. “Ini adalah kesempatan untuk mencapai sesuatu dengan sekelompok pemain berbakat di negara yang sangat menyukai rugby. Negara yang membuat saya dan keluarga saya sangat disambut, ketika kami pertama kali tiba lima belas tahun yang lalu, dan sepanjang waktu kami berada di sana.
“Prioritas langsung kami jelas adalah Guinness Six Nations 2023 dan Piala Dunia Rugby tahun depan.
“Hanya ada sedikit waktu untuk sentimen, olahraga profesional adalah tentang persiapan, nilai dan hasil. Akan ada tantangan baru karena selalu ada pergantian pelatih kepala, tapi bagi saya lingkungan, para pemain dan keluarga mereka akan selalu didahulukan.” .
“Kami harus mempersiapkan yang terbaik dari kemampuan kami dalam waktu yang tersedia. Kami akan menghargai dan menghormati satu sama lain, kami akan bekerja keras dan, jika kami melakukannya dengan benar, penampilan dan hasil akan mengikuti.”
Puncak masa jabatan Pivac datang dengan kemenangan Enam Negara tahun 2021 tetapi timnya tidak dapat melanjutkannya pada tahun 2022, dengan kekalahan kandang yang memalukan dari Italia untuk mengakhiri kegagalan mempertahankan gelar mereka diikuti dengan kekalahan yang sama dari Georgia pada bulan November.
“Saya jelas sangat sedih mundur dari peran itu,” kata Pivac.
“Ini adalah proses peninjauan yang cepat pasca-Autumn Nations Series karena waktu sangat penting dengan mendekatnya Enam Negara dengan cepat. Sayangnya, hasil atau penampilan tahun ini tidak seperti yang kami harapkan. Sebagai kelompok, kami semua bertanggung jawab untuk itu, tapi saya khususnya sebagai pelatih kepala.
“Kami pernah memainkan rugby yang sangat bagus, tetapi perlu melakukannya dengan lebih konsisten. Namun, saya tahu bahwa ada fondasi yang kuat bagi skuat untuk maju ke hal-hal hebat di masa depan.
“Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada para pemain, pelatih, manajemen, dan WRU atas komitmen, dukungan, dan kerja keras mereka selama saya menjadi pelatih kepala dan kepada semua orang di Wales yang telah membuat saya merasa betah di sini selama delapan tahun terakhir.”
Pertandingan pertama Gatland yang bertanggung jawab adalah pertandingan pembuka Enam Negara Wales melawan Irlandia pada 4 Februari, saat mereka memulai persiapan terakhir mereka untuk Piala Dunia Rugbi, yang akan berlangsung di Prancis pada bulan September.
