Rugby Australia is searching for a new chief executive after Andy Marinos tendered his shock resignation from the role on Monday, just four months out from the Rugby World Cup. RA revealed Marinos’s intention to step down to “pursue new opportunities”, although he will remain in the role to oversee a brief transition period until mid-June.
Zimbabwe-born Marinos will depart with RA’s finances back on an even keel, after the organisation announced last week it had turned around a $27.1m deficit after the Covid pandemic left it on the brink of “catastrophe”. Last week’s AGM confirmed a $8.2m profit was made for 2022.
