LANCASTER

Former England head coach Stuart Lancaster has been named head coach of Racing 92 for the 2019 season, the Irish province announced on Monday.

Lancaster, 52, led his country to a pool stage exit on home soil in the 2015 Rugby World Cup before moving to Dublin as a senior coach a year later.

“Initially it was for one season and here I am entering my seventh, which is a reflection on all the players past and present I have worked with, as well as the people of Leinster and Ireland who have made me and my family feel so welcome,” Lancaster said in a statement released by Leinster.

“I’ve always wanted to challenge myself as a coach in different ways, and the opportunity to coach in France at a club like Racing 92 is an exciting one,” he added.
