The French Rugby team is not in favour of having a foreign coach for its national rugby team.
PARIS: French rugby clubs have opposed the idea of having a foreign coach for the national team, according to the results of a referendum released on Friday.
“I will respect this choice,” said federation head Bernard Laporte, who has made handing power back to the clubs the motif of his bid for re-election as FFR chief in 2020. Laporte opened the debate in the wake of France finishing a disappointing fourth in this season’s Six Nations, saying at the time that he had not ruled out appointing a first-ever foreign coach to replace Brunel, with France to host the next World Cup in 2023.
