**Leo Cullen has agreed a one-year contract extension as Leinster head coach.** Cullen signed a rolling one-year deal with Leinster and the Irish Rugby Football Union last May, and an option to extend until the end of next season has now been confirmed by both organisations. “We offered Leo a two-year contract last year but were very happy to work with Leo to make the situation work for him,” [said Leinster chief executive Mick Dawson](https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/irfu-and-leinster-rugby-confirm-cullen-contract-extension/). “It was always our intention, all going well, that we would sit down again and agree to the second year, and that has been the case. “The job that Leo has done in his time as head coach has been excellent, and he has with him a group of coaches and staff that contribute and drive the standards that we have here today at Leinster Rugby.
