England head coach Shaun Wane has left the role after almost six years in charge, the Rugby Football League RFL said on Wednesday, and the search is on for a replacement nine months before the World Cup.
Wane, who previously coached Wigan, was appointed in February 2020, taking charge of his first competitive match in June 2021 before leading England when they hosted the Rugby League World Cup the following year.
England lost to Samoa in the semi-finals, and Wane then won a test series over Tonga in 2023 and then against Samoa the following year, before suffering an Ashes whitewash against Australia in November last year.
