The Irish province of Leinster announced this Wednesday that its historic manager Léo Cullen had extended his contract for an additional two years. On staff since the end of his playing career in 2014, he is linked to Leinster until 2027.
Unsurprisingly, Leinster is banking on continuity and stability. The Irish province announced on Wednesday that its head coach Leo Cullen had signed up for two more years in Dublin. The former second row, who arrived at the club in 2007, was integrated into the staff just after his retirement as a player in 2014. First in charge of the forwards, he quickly became the team manager. As he begins his tenth season as Leinster head coach, the man who racked up victories in the Pro 14 and won the Champions Cup in 2018 has reaffirmed his connection with the province.

Via a press release, the technician testified: “We are lucky to have a fantastic group of players and staff here at Leinster who I enjoy working with every day. Everyone in the group is focused on working hard, maximizing our potential and making our families, friends and supporters proud of what we are doing on the field I am really excited for what the future holds.” An immediate future which is being written in the URC, where the Boys in Blue take first place while still being undefeated, but also in the Champions Cup, which the Irish have not won for six years.
