McCall, who is contracted until 2025, is a serial winner. He is loved by his Saracens players:
SARACENS ARE BACK on top of English rugby and Mark McCall is celebrating his sixth Premiership title with the club.
McCall’s men were back in the Premiership final last season at the first time of asking but suffered heartbreak as Steve Borthwick’s Leicester pipped them to the crown. McCall won 13 caps for Ireland in midfield before being forced to retire in his early 30s due to injury. He made the move into coaching with the Ireland U21s and Ireland A, while he became an assistant with his native Ulster.
His first Premiership title came that season and now he has his sixth. McCall guided Saracens to European glory in 2016, 2017, and 2019 when they beat Leinster in the final at St James’ Park in Newcastle. A first-half penalty try that saw Sale flanker Tom Curry sin-binned got Saracens properly up and running, while Max Malins scored off a lovely Owen Farrell pass to help McCall’s men into a 20-13 lead at half-time.
The English side will celebrate their return to the summit of English rugby but they will also have big ambitions looking into next season, particularly in the Champions Cup. Sarries reached the quarter-finals this season but were well beaten by La Rochelle, the eventual champions.
