The French sports publication “L’Équipe” reports that English specialist Richard Cockerill will be appointed as the coach of the Georgian national rugby team.
The publication stated the coach would sign a two-year contract with the Georgian national team on November 23.
“The former England hooker, sacked from Montpellier this weekend after another defeat in Perpignan (23-16), the sixth in a row for the Herault club which Cockerill joined this summer, has reached an agreement with the Georgian federation to take over the national team.
“He is expected to sign a two-year contract on Thursday at the helm of the Lelos, who are coming off a mixed World Cup with a draw against Portugal (18-18), and three defeats against Australia (35-15), Fiji (17-12) and Wales (43-19). He will take over from Levan Maisashvili, who stepped down after the World Cup,” reads the publication.
