Warren Gatland quits Wales after record defeat

Warren Gatland reflected on his departure as Wales head coach, calling it the 'best decision' for both himself and Welsh rugby following a disappointing record of 14 successive defeats. In interviews, he expressed feelings of hurt over the negativity directed at him, particularly from former players, which weighed heavily on his self-belief. Gatland acknowledged that he made the decision to step down before the must-win match against Italy, realizing the situation was untenable. While he appreciated the support from fans, he admitted to dreading matches towards the end of his tenure. Now replaced by interim coach Matt Sherratt, Gatland remains open to future opportunities in rugby and cherishes the memories made during his time in charge. He reassured fans that the negativity surrounding his departure would eventually fade.
