The interim head coach is determined to land his ‘dream job’ on a permanent basis and bring back the glory days
When Geordan Murphy took over as Leicester’s interim head coach after the sacking of Matt O’Connor a couple of days into the season, he gathered his players together and told them that, while he had secured a job he coveted by means he had not wanted, he intended to grasp his opportunity and secure the position on a full-time basis.
“We have lost a few coaches in the last couple of years and it is about getting the right man in,” says Murphy as he prepares for Sunday’s Midlands derby against Wasps at the Ricoh Arena. “I hope it’s me, but if not, we will have to deal with it. I am not looking over my shoulder. I will give my all to make us tighter as a group and I am focused and optimistic.”
