Ulster Director of Rugby Les Kiss has left the province with immediate effect.
A statement on the club’s website claimed that Kiss would be leaving his post as Director of Rugby and that he has left the club by mutual consent.
“Ulster Rugby can confirm that Les Kiss will be leaving his post as Director of Rugby by mutual consent, effective immediately,” the statement read.
“Ulster Rugby would like to thank Les for his commitment and wish him well in his future career.
“Head Coach, Jono Gibbes, will assume responsibility for all coaching matters and will lead the current coaching team of Dwayne Peel, Aaron Dundon and Niall Malone. A review will be conducted to ascertain if additional coaching expertise is required.
“Operations Director, Bryn Cunningham, will manage the off-field operations of the professional team.”
Kiss joined Ulster in 2015 after six years as an assistant with Ireland. Prior to his move to Ireland, he had acted as an assistant with both the NSW Waratahs and the Springboks.
