Scott Johnson is the new director of coaching at Ospreys after the Australian agreed to leave his current role as USA coach at the end of the season.
The move, which has been widely tipped for some time, will not greatly effect the current set-up with Sean Holley continuing as head coach and Jonathan Humphreys remaining as his assistant.
Ospreys elite performance director Andrew Hore commented on the appointment, “We have considered over 20 coaches with the potential to measure up to a list of firm criteria and believe Scott Johnson contains the right mixture of technical ability – particularly on the attacking side of the game – strong character, excellent communication skills, planning, management ability and innovation to help the Ospreys take the next step forward.”
