Michael Cheika will step down as Leicester Tigers head coach when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 57-year-old took the job last summer on a one-year deal after being appointed just a week after fellow Australian Dan McKellar left by mutual consent.
Tigers, who are fourth in the Premiership table and have reached the last 16 of the European Champions Cup, are now looking for their ninth new head coach in less than nine years.
It was reported last week that Tigers are understood to have already spoken to celebrated former Leicester prop and ex-Munster head coach Graham Rowntree as a potential replacement.
