a change at the helm.<\/a><\/p>\nIt comes following the Giants\u2019 loss to Bradford Bulls on Friday night, with the club surrendering a lead to lose 26-14 at Odsal.<\/p>\n
Director of rugby Andy Kelly will take charge of the first-team as the search commences for a new man to take charge and Huddersfield have released a video of Rimmer explaining the decision and how the Giants will move forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you know we have been resetting the club and we set about that just after Christmas. I was installed as director for change and we\u2019ve done a huge amount of change behind the scenes, absolutely driving the club forward in all its activities,\u201d Rimmer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCritically, we need some on-field success as well. We\u2019ve launched \u2018Giants Unleashed\u2019 and that really has to mean something on and off the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cFantastic man, Luke Robinson, someone who has dedicated himself to this club for a long time and he is a legend of this club and will remain so, but nevertheless, the set of circumstances have brought about this change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in good hands, we\u2019ve got our director rugby Andy Kelly, who everybody knows, he\u2019s a great leader, he knows the sport and the club inside out. He will be control of all footballing matters during this interim period. Clearly in support of him we have the backroom staff here that are a very talented set of individuals. I\u2019m comfortable with that but we now need to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked what the club are looking for in a new head coach, Rimmer said: \u201cSomebody who gets excited by the club, that\u2019s a starting point. We\u2019ve done a lot in the last few months, we have a vision and a mission and we have values.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know what we\u2019re about and we need someone who is going to help us with the work we\u2019re doing on the culture of the club, someone who wants to be a part of that journey and takes us through to 2030, by 2030 we will be in a new stadium, we will have world class facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a training facility that should be ready in the next couple of months and that will be a big part of our building towards the future. So, somebody who wants to buy into that and somebody who wants to be here and help us build that success because we are very determined to bring success to this club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stadium will be huge investment and we are working tirelessly behind the scenes. Everybody knows how much Ken has put into this club and everybody knows how much the badge means for Ken, it\u2019s heart and soul and it needs to mean that for everybody attached to the club. This club is going places and we\u2019re driving really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nobody said it was ever going to be a straight path and if it was everybody would be doing it. This is a journey and we are building blocks along the way. There will definitely be setbacks along the way but we are gearing up for genuine success here.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt isn\u2019t just one single answer that brings that, there\u2019s lots of different pieces of work. What I would say is let\u2019s look at where we\u2019re going to be in three or four years\u2019 time, a successful club in a new stadium with a real fanbase that adds value to the competition, we want to add value.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s commercial sponsors that are excited as well. There is so much to celebrate and we absolutely on the starting line now. The next three or four years are going to be a fantastic journey to be on and \u2018Giants Unleashed\u2019 will definitely mean something.\u201d<\/p>\n
