Mario Ledesma steps down as Argentina coach

Mario Ledesma has resigned as coach of the Argentine national rugby side, saying a run of poor results meant it was time for change at the top of the Pumas organisation.

"Taking this decision is difficult, who wants step way from all this? Nobody," Ledesma told reporters at a press conference.

"But if you put the team first and you are sufficiently humble then that's what you have to do."


The 48-year-old former hooker with French club Clermont Auvergne took over as head coach in August 2018, winning eight, drawing three and losing 22 of his games in charge.

A replacement for Ledesma is yet to be named.
