Du Preez to leave Sharks

Wednesday 17 Jul 2019

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: The Sharks have certainly been busy spring cleaning following the Super Rugby 2019 season.

Not only have the Durban side lost a host of their coaching staff like skills coach AB Zondagh, Ricardo Loubscher, and Braam van Straaten, the side announced on Wednesday that current Chief Operating Officer (COO), Eduard Coetzee will succeed Gary Teichmann as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Sharks, effective September 2019.

The massive revamped is still far from coming to a halt as South African media reports also claimed that Super Rugby head coach Robert Du Preez is set to part ways with the franchise.

Du Preez has already been replaced by Sean Everitt as Currie Cup coach, after a very turbulent Super Rugby season.

There has been no official confirmation about the amicable departure, but the Sharks are set to release a statement later on Wednesday.
