McKellar joined the Tigers in 2020 as part of a coaching shake-up and was seen as a key figure in the club’s plans for the future.

However, following a disappointing season for the Tigers, both parties have agreed to part ways in order to pursue new opportunities.

Leicester Tigers chairman Peter Tom commented on McKellar’s departure, saying, “We would like to thank Steve for his hard work and dedication during his time at the club.”

“We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and hope to see him succeed in the next chapter of his coaching career.”

The Tigers will now begin the search for a new head coach to lead the team into the upcoming season.

McKellar’s departure comes as a surprise to many fans and pundits, who had high hopes for the coach’s future at the club.

It remains to be seen who will take over the reins at Leicester Tigers and how they will fare in the upcoming season.

For now, the club will focus on finding a suitable replacement for McKellar and preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.

Only time will tell if McKellar’s departure was the right decision for Leicester Tigers as they look to bounce back from a disappointing season.
