Rugby Australia has accepted the resignation of head coach Eddie Jones just 10 months into a five-year contract after the Wallabies' pool-stage World Cup exit.
The former England head coach returned for a second spell in charge of his home nation in January this year, replacing Dave Rennie, and signed an A$4.5m deal with Rugby Australia.However, a winless Rugby Championship campaign followed by going out of this year's World Cup in the pool stage for the first time and suffering a shock defeat to Fiji in the process has led to Jones departing the position, confirmed for November 25.
Jones, whose mother and wife are Japanese, has been linked with the Japan head coach job since Australian media reported he had interviewed for it a couple of days before the Wallabies' final World Cup warm-up.However, Jones still hopes to coach 'one more international team, one more cycle' in the future, but says he doesn't currently have a job to go to.
