"Shaun Wane has left his position as England's head coach with immediate effect, the Guardian can reveal, leaving the national team on the hunt for a replacement for the Rugby League World Cup later this year. Wane oversaw England's 3-0 Ashes defeat against Australia last autumn but insisted in the aftermath of that series that he was keen to continue and rebuild going into the World Cup in the southern hemisphere this year."
"Wane held discussions with the Rugby Football League this week about his future and those decisions have reached a conclusion, with it decided that the national team will go in a new direction for the World Cup. Wane had insisted previously that he felt he was the right man to take England into the World Cup this year, saying: I don't believe I know I am."
