Former Munster coach relishing switch to Wasps

Former Munster assistant Ian Costello is relishing the chance to further his coaching career with a move to English Premiership big guns Wasps next season.

The Limerick man will relinquish his role as head coach of Championship club Nottingham next summer, after two years in the job, to move across the Midlands to Coventry, where he will focus on skills development and exits under Wasps director of rugby Dai Young.

Before moving to Nottingham, Costello had been with Munster for five seasons, leading the A team to B&I Cup success in 2011, before becoming skills and defence coach to the senior squad under Anthony Foley.
