STATEMENT: Steve Diamond leaves his current role at the end of month

Steve Diamond will leave Edinburgh Rugby at the end of the month following the arrival of Sean Everitt as the club’s senior coach.

The experienced former Sale Sharks and Worcester boss worked alongside Mike Blair until the end at the end of the campaign then took the squad for the first chunk of pre-season training.

“We’ve enjoyed having Steve here at Edinburgh Rugby and he’s done a first-class job in overseeing our pre-season programme this off-season,” said Douglas Struth, Edinburgh Rugby’s managing director.

“Steve has worked closely with Sean since his appointment to ensure a smooth handover process, which has allowed Sean to really hit the ground running with our squad, who are now in block three of pre-season preparations.

“I’d like to put on record our thanks and appreciation for Steve’s hard work, insight, leadership, and expertise since taking on the role back in March.”
