Jackman set for Grenoble head coaching role

Former Irish hooker Bernard Jackman will become Top 14 side Grenoble’s head coach next season.

Jackman, 37, who joined the French side’s backroom on a consultancy basis in 2011, was named forwards and skills coach last season.

The 37-year-old will take over from Fabrice Landreau who currently serves as both head coach and Director of Sport at the club. Landreau will continue in the latter role.
