Rassie Erasmus' tenure as South Africa head coach will come to an end after tomorrow's Rugby World Cup final against England.
Erasmus has held the post since early 2018 while also acting as the nation's director of rugby, a role he will continue to perform post Japan 2019.
It was speculated that the 47-year-old former Springbok might retain the coaching reins for the Lions tour in two years' time, but current defence coach Jacques Nienaber is likely to be his successor.
Erasmus says for him, it is an emotional one in the sense that he did not think 25 test matches will go that quickly.
Erasmus admits he is convert to the idea that rugby can be a unifying force for South Africa as he targets the nation's third world title by defeating Eddie Jones' favourites in Yokohama.
England will take on South Africa in the grand final at 9pm tomorrow.
Meanwhile, New Zealand will take on Wales at 9 tonight in the bronze medal final.
