[WATCH] Sharks axe Everitt after 35-0 pak
Paid the price: Sean Everitt
The Sharks have sacked coach Sean Everitt following their 35-0 defeat to Cardiff in the United Rugby Championship on Sunday night, with ex-Blitzboks coach Neil Powell now taking charge of the team.
Sharks CEO Eduard Coetzee explains: “This tough decision has been made in the best interests of the team moving forward. Our Director of Rugby, Neil Powell, will oversee the remainder of the United Rugby Championship campaign as well as our first foray in the Heineken Champions Cup.”
Everitt says of his axing: “ I accept the decision that has been made by the Sharks’ board, post the devastating defeat against Cardiff on Sunday. This is a sad development for me and sometimes the results don’t always match the tireless effort that has been put in.
