Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus is not shy of potential suitors.
His current SA Rugby contract will expire in 2027.
Meaning, as things stand, he will leave the Boks at the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup. To make matters even more interesting, TWO overseas teams have expressed interest in signing Rassie already – more than two years before the end of his current contract.
TWO OVERSEAS TEAMS WANT TO SIGN SPRINGBOKS COACH
Not one but two overseas teams have expressed interest in signing Rassie.
“The 52-year-old’s contract with SA Rugby expires after the 2027 Rugby World Cup, and according to Rapport, two overseas teams are interested in Erasmus’ services, which led to the ramping up of contract negotiations for the head coach and his coaching team,” the report read on PlanetRugby.
Meaning, SARU will have to act fast now. This is because teams are already planning bids for the Springboks coach more than two years before the end of his current contract.
So, there will be more interested sides closer to the time.
RASSIE WANTS CERTAINTY OVER HIS FUTURE
Furthermore, Rassie wants certainty over his future now.
“The report adds that the double World Cup-winning coach not only wants certainty around his future beyond Australia 2027 but also for his Bok assistants, whose contracts all expire at the same time,” the same publication added.
Meanwhile, as mentioned, his assistants contracts also expire in 2027. Meaning, Mzwandile Stick and Daan Human futures will als be decided after the 2027 RWC.
The names of the sides interested in Rassie have not been disclosed at the time of publication.
