The team, under his leadership, suffered a historic exit from the World Cup during the group stage, marking an unprecedented setback.

With just two victories to their name, Jones faced severe criticism for his performance and was ultimately left by mutual consent earlier this month..

Controversy surrounded him when reports surfaced of discussions with Japan regarding their head coaching position shortly before the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The fallout from this revelation intensified the scrutiny on Jones.

The latest development reveals that Jones has made a significant life decision, opting to relocate permanently to Japan.

Despite this move, there are no indications that he has secured a coaching role within the country.

Notably, Jones has a deep connection to Japan, having previously coached the national team from 2012 to 2015 and the Suntory Sungoliath club team in Tokyo for three years. His ties to the country include a Japanese mother and marriage to a Japanese woman.
