Danny Wilson to leave his position as head coach of Cardiff Blues

Cardiff Blues have confirmed that head coach Danny Wilson has decided to leave his position at the end of the season.

 “It is disappointing that Danny has decided not to take up the offer of a new contract and will not be part of our strategy moving forward," said Cardiff Blues chief executive Richard Holland.

“We will begin the process of finding a successor immediately and we will consult key individuals to ensure we make the right appointment for Cardiff Blues.”

Wilson added: “This was obviously a very difficult decision to make and I am very grateful to Cardiff Blues for the opportunities they have given to me.
 
“I will be fully committed to Cardiff Blues for the remainder of my time here and am now solely focused on this weekend’s match with Munster."

Cardiff Blues also confirm that the search for a suitable successor will begin with immediate effect and further rugby appointments will be made.
