Eddie Jones: Australia head coach resigns following early Rugby World Cup exit

Eddie Jones has stepped down from his position as head coach of Australia.

Australia went out in the pool stage of the Rugby World Cup, the first time in the tournament's history that they had failed to reach the knockout stage.

Jones began a second spell in charge of the Wallabies in January and will step down on 25 November.

In a statement, Rugby Australia thanked Jones for his "commitment to the Wallabies in 2023" and wished him "the best in his future endeavours".

The statement added that an announcement over the future of Australia's caching staff would be made "in due course".

Jones was sacked by England just one month before taking on the role as Wallabies head coach, succeeding Dave Rennie, and signed a contract running through to 2027, the year Australia hosts the next Rugby World Cup.

During this year's tournament, Jones denied speculation linking him with a return as Japan coach, insisting he was "committed" to his role with Australia.

He had led Australia and England to World Cup finals in 2003 and 2019 respectively, but his sides lost on both occasions.

Jones told the Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday: "(I) gave it a run. Hopefully (I'll) be the catalyst for change."

Australia were upset by Fiji and lost heavily to Wales in a disappointing 2023 campaign, eventually finishing third in their pool.

They won only two of their nine Tests after Jones' return, those victories coming against tier-two nations Georgia and Portugal at the World Cup.
