(Reuters) - Wales women's coach Ioan Cunningham has left by mutual agreement after three years in the job, the Welsh Rugby Union said on Friday a week after the WRU apologised to players for its handling of contract negotiations.

Wales, who are ranked 10th in the world, managed only four wins in 11 games this year. They finished last in the women's Six Nations earlier this year.
