โPeople will always come first at our club and Mark will be given all of the support and time he needs.

McCall, a former Ireland international, remained at the helm throughout the salary cap scandal that saw Saracens relegated to the Championship for the 2020-21 season.
Saracens sit second in the Premiership table and could still qualify for the knockout phase of the Challenge Cup.
