Leicester Tigers have experienced another coaching shake-up as Matt Everard departs from his role as defense coach.

Everard, who joined Leicester from Wasps in November 2022, initially served as an academy coach before moving up to the first-team coaching staff.

Despite a strong defensive record in his first full season, recent heavy defeats have led to his departure.

Leicester has faced instability in its coaching ranks, with seven head coaches since January 2017.

The club is currently searching for a new head coach following the announcement that Michael Cheika will step down at the end of the season.

Leicester legend Tom Varndell expressed disappointment over the timing of Everard's departure, emphasizing the need for continuity and consistency in the coaching staff.
