JAKE White has admitted his disappointment over missing out on the Wallabies' head coaching position was a factor in his decision to quit the Brumbies.

White told The Canberra Times he felt no guilt about signing a three-year contract with the Sharks in his native South Africa and said he would continue to pursue his dream of coaching another international team.

"I told (the Brumbies) I was feeling disillusioned with where my career was going in Australia," White said.

"And who says I can't coach Australia after the World Cup? I've not turned my back on Australia.

"I don't feel guilty at all about wanting to chase an international dream, players do it all the time.''

White said his primary motivation for walking out on the Brumbies with two years remaining on his contract was to be closer to his family in South Africa.

"I genuinely felt heartsore when I left, both my wife and I felt like that,'' he said.

''I know that in my heart I did my bit and I gave my 100 per cent and there was no malice or skulduggery.

"The bottom line is I just wanted to move on. Families allow family members to move on. It happens. A lot of the guys I've spoken to, they all understand why it had to happen."

White said either Laurie Fisher or Stephen Larkham would have no troubles leading the Brumbies in 2014.

"Laurie has been a head coach and understands the Brumbies," he said. "He's senior, that's in his favour. But there's no doubt that Bernie will become a Brumbies coach now or in the future. He will coach the club eventually.

"I don't think it makes a difference who they pick, there's no negatives. It's all positives between those two guys.''
