Springbok coaching team signs new contracts
SA Rugby has confirmed the contract extension of three Springbok assistant coaches Mzwandile Stick, Deon Davids and Daan Human, the body announced on Wednesday.
The Head of Athletic Performance, Andy Edwards, has also signed on for an addition four years.
Their contracts have been extended for another four years until the conclusion of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
“We are delighted to announce that Mzwandile, Deon, Daan and Andy have signed contract extensions that will see them remain with the Springboks until the 2027 Rugby World Cup,” said SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer.
“They all come a long way as a coaching team under the guidance of Rassie, as Director of Rugby, and I am confident that the continuity in our coaching staff will bode well for the Springboks for 2023 and the following seasons.
Current Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber will leave his post at the conclusion of the Rugby World Cup in France.
“It was our ambition to retain all the current coaching staff in recognition of the excellent work they have done over the past six years regardless of the outcomes of the Rugby World Cup later this year, and we are pleased that most of them have agreed to continue with the team,” Oberholzer said.
