Leinster have announced that scrum-coach Marco Caputo is leaving with immediate effect.
The Australian informed the province of his decision to leave earlier this week, having spent just one season with the team.
Caputo says he has taken the decision in order to give the new coaching set-up "the best chance of a fresh start for the new season".
"I would like to thank the players and backroom staff at Leinster for their efforts and the supporters for following us through all of last season's highs and lows. I have enjoyed the experience immensely and I have loved my short but very eventful 12 months in Ireland and being part of the Leinster environment," he said.
Leinster are currently in search of a new head coach following the mutual parting of ways with Matt O'Connor, with Leo Cullen and Head of Fitness Dan Tobin will oversee pre-season training.
