Towards a historic first for the XV of France after Fabien Galthié? It could well be yes because the position of coach of the XV of France arouses desire and the future boss of the Blues could well be of foreign nationality. While Galthié signed a contract until 2027, he who will be the coach of the Blues during the World Cup in Australia and who is very good in his position today, Ronan O’Gara has expressed his interest in becoming coach of the Blues . The manager of La Rochelle, who is a former Irish international, could therefore be chosen after the end of Galthié’s adventure.
O’Gara as future coach of the Blues?
Former emblematic Irish player, Ronan O’Gara has been at the head of La Rochelle since 2019. But at 47, he would like to discover the world of a selection and he had recently expressed, in front of the press, his interest in the XV of France. “There are some positions I would bite some hands off for. Usually it comes by itself if you are good enough with your club. I think everyone should have these kinds of ambitions because you have to be the best you can be. (…) Without wanting to lack humility, I would prefer Ireland, England or France“, confided O’Gara. And this would be a historic first for the Blues because no coach has ever been a foreigner within the XV of France. We had Fabien Galthié, Jacques Brunel, Philippe Saint-André, Bernard Laporte, Marc Liévremont, Guy Novès, Pierre Berbizier, Fernand Cazenave, Jean Desclaux, Daniel Dubroca, Jacques Fouroux, Jean Prat and Jean-Claude Skrela, who were all French. So will a historic first take place in the future?
To summarize
Towards a historic first for the XV of France after Fabien Galthié? It could well be yes because the position of coach of the XV of France arouses desire and the future boss of the Blues could well be of foreign nationality.
