Gatland eyes Wasps exit
Warren Gatland
Wasps coach Warren Gatland has hinted he could quit the club at the end of next season and return to New Zealand.

Gatland, who guided the side to victory in the Heineken Cup and the Zurich Premiership title in 2004, is contracted for another two seasons.

But the former All Blacks hooker admits there is little left for him to prove in the northern hemisphere.

"I may see it out or I may just do one more year," said Gatland, who is back in New Zealand on holiday.

I don't have to worry too much financially and I just want to come home to where my family are

He added: "If I stay for the full two years I would have been away from New Zealand for nine years. It is probably time to come back."

The former Ireland coach would not be short of offers should he decide to go home.

"I think if you're successful then obviously you're in demand," Gatland told the Waikato Times.

"For me everything has to be on my own terms. I don't have to worry too much financially and I just want to come home to where my family are."
