After retiring from playing in 2009, Lancaster transitioned into coaching. He joined Leeds Tykes as an assistant coach, working under head coach Neil Back. In 2011, he was appointed head coach of England Saxons, the national team's second-string side. Lancaster's success with Saxons, guiding them to victory in the Churchill Cup in 2011 and 2012, earned him the attention of the England Rugby Football Union (RFU).
In 2012, Lancaster was appointed as the interim head coach of the England national team following the resignation of Martin Johnson. His initial tenure was marked by a series of impressive performances, including a historic 38-21 victory over New Zealand, the reigning world champions. Lancaster was subsequently appointed as the permanent head coach in 2013.
Leadership Style and Coaching Philosophy
Lancaster's leadership style was characterized by a strong emphasis on discipline, teamwork, and player development. He believed in creating a positive and supportive environment for his players, fostering a culture of respect and trust. Lancaster's coaching philosophy revolved around a high-tempo, attacking style of play, with a focus on ball retention and quick recycling. He was also known for his meticulous attention to detail, spending countless hours analyzing opponents and developing game plans.
Impact on English Rugby
Lancaster's impact on English rugby was significant. Under his leadership, England rose to number two in the World Rugby Rankings, their highest position since 2004. He also guided England to victory in the 2013 Six Nations Championship, their first title since 2003. In addition, Lancaster's emphasis on player development helped nurture a new generation of talented English players, many of whom went on to represent the British and Irish Lions.
Departure from England and Subsequent Career
Lancaster's tenure as England head coach came to an end following a disappointing performance at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, where England was eliminated in the pool stage. Despite the setback, Lancaster's contributions to English rugby were widely acknowledged, and he left the team with a strong legacy.
In 2016, Lancaster was appointed as the director of rugby for Leinster, one of the most successful rugby clubs in Europe. Under his leadership, Leinster won the Pro14 title in 2018 and 2019, and reached the final of the European Rugby Champions Cup in 2019. Lancaster left Leinster in 2022 to join Racing 92, a French rugby club, as their sporting director.
Stuart Lancaster is a respected and admired figure in the world of rugby. His leadership, coaching philosophy, and impact on the game have left an enduring mark on English rugby. From his humble beginnings in Penrith to his success with Leeds and England, Lancaster's journey is a testament to his passion for the sport and his unwavering commitment to excellence.
