Eddie\u2019s Jones controversial second stint as Wallabies coach is over.<\/p>\n

Less than one month after Australia\u2019s dismal World Cup campaign ended \u2013 the Wallabies were knocked out in the group stages for the first time in history \u2013 Jones and Rugby Australia are set to part ways.<\/p>\n

It comes after the Herald\u2019s<\/em> revelation last month that Jones had a secret interview with Japan rugby officials about taking over as the country\u2019s head coach in 2024. Jones denies he has taken part or will sit in an interview with the JRFU.<\/p>\n

The Herald<\/em> reported on Friday that Jones informed RA he was open to walking away from the Wallabies job, less than one year into a five-year contract.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies won two of nine Tests under Jones this year.<\/p>\n

Sources with knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said Jones and RA had reached an agreement.<\/p>\n

RA declined to comment on the issue earlier on Sunday. Chairman Hamish McLennan was contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

Jones spoke to this masthead\u2019s Peter FitzSimons about his resignation and said his overriding emotion was \u201cdisappointment\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I] gave it a run. Hopefully be the catalyst for change. Sometimes you have to eat shit for others to eat caviar further down the track,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

Both parties have been locked in discussions over recent days about an exit for the under fire coach.<\/p>\n

There is final paperwork to be signed but Jones\u2019 future as Wallabies boss is over.<\/p>\n

The news is a major embarrassment for RA, who signed Jones on a five-year deal in January after sacking Dave Rennie following a run of inconsistent performances.<\/p>\n
