Update: The Irish Independent has confirmed that ROG will be joining Racing on a two year contract.
L'Equipe are reporting that Ronan O'Gara is set to join Racing Metro's coaching staff next season as a kicking coach. There aren't many details about at the moment but the prospect of O'Gara coaching Jonny Sexton is pretty insane.
ROG joining Racing as kicking coach/consultant report L'Equipe #rterugby
— Mark McKenna (@sportproducer) May 17, 2013
This French website has a few more details which when you put through google translate are:
The former Irish international Ronan O'Gara (36 years, 130 caps), who has just retired as a player, join Racing Metro next year as a consultant.According to L'Equipe, the former half d'ouverture Munster (photo) intervene with Christophe Mombet at the youth teams. And it will also be in charge of the kicking game in the professional group.
So Ronan O'Gara is apparently set to be a Racing Metro youth coach while also helping out the first team with their kicking. Will the camera still cut to him after a Sexton miss? Would this be the frostiest kicking coach/player relationship ever? Please god let this be true.
