Speculation had been mounting after reports emerged late on Thursday that Lancaster could be on his way out following a disappointing start to the 2024/25 campaign.

The Parisian outfit is wasting no time in finding a replacement, with former Toulon and La Rochelle boss Patrice Collazo expected to step in and steady the ship.

Lancaster, the former Leinster and England coach, had an ill-fated time at Racing 92 and is paying the price for a poor campaign that’s left the club languishing 12th in the French Top 14 and out of the Champions Cup.

He left Leinster after winning the Champions Cup in 2018 and four PRO14 titles to join up with Racing in 2022 on a four-year contract.

He was Leinster’s senior coach from 2016, working under head coach Leo Cullen, while he spent four years as England boss before stepping down after the 2015 World Cup.
