Quesada Racing to be a coach
Former Argentinian flyhalf Gonzalo Quesada is set to move from being the French national side’s kicking coach to become backs coach of Racing-Metro according to L’Equipe on Sunday.
The 37-year-old – capped 38 times between 1996 and 2003 – has been in his present post for four years and had been asked by incoming France coach Philippe Saint-André to stay on as he is close to the players.
Quesada, who numbered among his clubs as a player Toulon and Stade Français during eight years in French club rugby, will replace Simon Mannix, who was sacked after Friday’s 28-9 Top 14 win over Biarritz.
The 40-year-old New Zealander – capped once by the All Blacks – had been at Racing since 2007 in the days when it was still a Second Division club and had recently only extended his contract.
