Vermeulen had been in charge since 2012. His departure leaves the lowest ranked participant in a grave state ahead of facing New Zealand, Georgia, Tonga and Argentina at the World Cup.
Playing in a fifth Rugby World Cup Namibia is in search for a first ever win. The Africans now has jsut two weeks to prepare for a home series against Russia. The European nation was eliminated by Uruguay in the Final Place Play-Off and is interested in proving it should be in the World Cup.
