• O’Connor fired after one game of Premiership season
• Coaches’ union calls dismissal part of ‘disturbing trend’
Leicester’s decision to fire Matt O’Connor one match into the Premiership season has been described as “grossly unfair” and part of “a disturbing trend” by the coaches’ union.
After firing O’Connor on Monday Leicester have appointed Geordan Murphy on an interim basis and it is believed the Irishman, who spent 16 years at the club as a player, will be given the opportunity to press his claims for the job permanently.
