Canadian men's rugby sevens coach Sean White to leave role in July
The change will be made upon the conclusion of the first term of his contract, the organization said in a statement.
'On behalf of Rugby Canada, I would like to thank Sean for his hard work and dedication to the men's program and the work he did in developing our players,' said Rugby Canada CEO Nathan Bombrys. 'We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.'
After a season-ending review, Rugby Canada said it was decided a change 'would be in the best interest of qualification for the LA 2028 Olympics and redefining the team's role within international men's rugby.'
The Canadian men were relegated from the elite HSBC SVNS circuit last June.

Organizers of the Los Angeles Olympics will sell naming rights for a handful of its venues in deals expected to bring multiple millions of dollars to the 2028 Games while breaking down the International Olympic Committee's long-sacrosanct policy of keeping brand names off its arenas and stadiums. The organizing committee announced the landmark deal Thursday, saying contracts were already in place with two of its founding partners — Honda, which already has naming rights for the arena in Anaheim that will host volleyball, and Comcast, which will have its name on the temporary venue hosting squash.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nick Iwanyshyn Hugo Mbongoe's goal in the 69th minute stood up as the game winner as Vancouver FC downed Atletico Ottawa 3-1 in the first leg of their Canadian Championship semifinal matchup on Wednesday.
