#BREAKING The @radiosportnz Breakfast can confirm Warren Gatland will coach @ChiefsRugby in 2020, 2022 and 2023, with a year off to coach the British and Irish Lions in 2021.@KiwiMurph Woooo called it
-
Great news if true.
The big story will be who Gatland's assistants are because one of them will have to assume the role of coach in 2021.
I'm not sure if Matson, Barnes and White (plus Randle) also have contracts until 2020 or Gatland would be free to bring in his own coaching team.
@Stargazer ?? -
Fake News, surely

Is he going to play Warrenball or adapt a style to NZ. I assume he'll play a mix.
If we are hard to score against, with a rock solid set piece, then DMAc and ALB can take care of the rest.
Type of coach that might attract players as well?
I'll still wait for something more official
Hopefully the drop in pressure from being in charge of Wales/Lions will remove the grumpy from his ass.

I'm waiting for @Stargazer to post it before I believe it's 100% true.
I wonder if he'll turn into Hansen who always used to come across as grumpy before his dry-ish humour started being shown.

@Nepia he has posted above, with similar reservations as M4L....

haha you mean when he started coaching a team we supported?

I think alot of what Gatland says has a touch of humour in it, it just aint funny when French refs have a deal!

Next priority for NZR is to get Joe Schmidt to Blues in 2021
Joe gets a year off to spend time with family in NZ
Leon gets to learn off a maestro and NZ rugby keeps more rugby IP
-
love how Cooper annouces his 'retirement' then Gatland already lined up to get in there.. that would have been months in the making with all the moving parts to make that happen...
I would have thought if the chiefs wanted cooper to stick around they would have offered him an assistant coach position cause you know "My passion is ‘hands-on’ on-the-field coaching"..
so obviously wanted him gone.

@Stockcar86 Not a bad idea at all.
I must admit that I checked my list of signings to see for how long Jono Gibbes was contracted to La Rochelle, but that's until June 2022.

problem with getting guys back is that they'd have to take a massive pay cut to do so.. Gats is ok cause he's still got the Lions gig and potentially AB's down the line
Jonno still young, only enticement for him would be family.. but that didn't stop him from leaving so wouldn't bring him back!

It's being reported on Fox Sports now.
