Shaun Wane led Wigan Warriors to multiple trophies before his appointment as England coach in 2020
Shaun Wane has stepped down from his position as England head coach "after careful reflection", nine months before the Rugby League World Cup.
The former Wigan coach, 61, succeeded Wayne Bennett in February 2020 and was in charge for a home World Cup in 2022. England were knocked out in the semi-finals, losing to Samoa in golden-point extra time.
England won home series against Tonga and Samoa in the following two years but then lost all three Ashes Tests to Australia on home soil last autumn.
After that series defeat, Wane said there was "no question" that he was the right person to lead his nation into the 2026 World Cup.
