The Melbourne Rebels have named their new coaching team structure following the announcement last Friday from head coach Dave Wessels that he was standing down. Kevin Foote, who served as assistant coach under Wessels, will step into the role of interim head coach, commencing on Tuesday. Foote has previous head coach experience in South Africa where he coached the UCT Ikeys to the 2011 Varsity Cup title. "Kevin is excited to have been given the opportunity to take on the interim head coach role and is looking forward to the Trans-Tasman series," he told the Rebels' official website. The Melbourne Rebels will also be making some high profile player retention signings in the next few weeks.
