O’Sullivan lined up to take the reins at Biarritz

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN is reportedly being lined up to become the next coach of struggling French Top 14 club Biarritz Olympique.

The former Ireland head boss flew into the French coastal city yesterday for talks with powerbrokers at the famous club, owned by millionaire businessman Marcel Martin.

O’Sullivan has expressed his desire in recent months to return to top-flight coaching, having stepped down from his role with Ireland following last season’s Six Nations.
