- When Michael Cheika quit as Wallabies coach following the team’s poor performance at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, many Australian fans were happy to see the back of him. But three years on, he’s never been in greater demand. Subscribe: ab.co/3yqPOZ5
As head coach of Argentina’s national rugby side, Cheika recently clocked up wins against Australia and New Zealand but it’s his other national coaching job that is raising eyebrows. This week, he takes lowly ranked Lebanon to the Rugby League World Cup in Britain.
In a revealing Australian Story, Michael Cheika looks back over an eventful life and often controversial career. He addresses the criticism that was levelled at him in the wake of the 2019 World Cup and explains why he switched codes to honour his Lebanese heritage and why he still feels like an outsider.

I'm a New Zealander and I have always liked Michael Cheika as a coach . He has a lot of passion and knowledge for any sport
As a Kiwi am a big fan of Cheika, he's a true battler and has achieved some amazing results. Respect for the passion he brings despite the frequent knocks from the media and fans. His parents who immigrated to Oz, his family and the Lebanese community must be proud to see him reach the top.
WONDERFUL!!! So nice to meet the man!!!
To be honest I didn't think very much of Michael as a coach,dunno I thought he was arrogant that was the feeling I got,but after seeing this my opinion of the man has definitely changed on the man..I'm an Allblack supporter for life..but well done Michael.
This guy gets so misunderstood by media/ fans, he an amazing coach who has contributed a lot to rugby, he just as passionate as other coaches, when it comes to rugby he wears his heart of his sleeve and always has his players back. good luck on your next adventure.. AB fan here.
Much respect Coach Cheika. Completely understand supporting the underdog ✌🇿🇦
If Michael Cheika had been a rugby league player and, even though he was from the eastern suburbs, he would have been a bloody ripper Western Suburbs Magpie!
SALUTE to Michael Cheika especially COACH to totally different code and New Zealand struggle. A team to reckon with this World Cup
Just love his ballsy attitude and giving back to his heritage. Not many of his ilk.
Seeing Cheika switch between league and union is like watching a DC-Marvel crossover. Pretty cool.
Kiwi here. Always been a fan of Michael. Loved this story. Thanks for making it.
Respect! from an AB's supporter
amazing 👏 story...Big Thanks from Fiji 🇫🇯 🙏
Fantastic documentary
Kia kaha Cheika absolute legend
has my respect as a allblacks supporter because of what he has done for rugby for Australia rugby and look what hes done for rugby in Argentina coaching team they had a victory over the All Blacks 3 years ago for the first time and early this year the pumas had a victory over the ABs on there home soil the greatest a tempt for the pumas and any other team to do that on ABs soil is not easy
True legend mike i rekon if you had a stacked team like all those teams you've coached against you'd be unbeaten like ive always said its easy to coach a team thats already stacked with talent but it takes a real coach to coach a team thats not stacked you are a true testament of that champion mate an a real coach 😎👍🔥
This is inspiring
Chieka's a Legend.
