LOFFREDA PLEADS FOR MORE TIME AT TIGERS
Marcelo Loffreda has urged the Leicester Tigers board to consider his team’s progress over the past few months before deciding whether to sack him.
The Head Coach, who took Argentina to last year’s World Cup semi-final, has struggled in his first season at Welford Road, but his team scraped into today's final.
But after being outplayed in the first half they went down 26-16 to London Wasps – with rumours circulating that the result of this final would determine his future.
But Loffreda insisted the future could be bright – although he acknowledged it is not his decision.
He said: "I am not happy now - I am very sad. It really hurts to lose the game. But we have to look forward. I think we can do many good things in the future.
"During the months and the games that I have been with the team, I think we have improved.
“I was very happy where things were going. It was tough and we were inconsistent in the beginning, but we began to find our way.
"Leicester have the talent and the players to be great.
"I really don't know if I will be Leicester coach next season. I would love to stay here but I am not the one who has to make that decision."
