Future extremely bright, declares new Munster chief

Munster’s new chief executive has told the Irish Examiner the team’s disappointing run of form should not detract from the “extremely bright” future he believes is awaiting the province under head coach Johann van Graan.
Cork native Ian Flanagan succeeded Garrett Fitzgerald as Munster Rugby CEO in September having spent his entire career in the sports industry, including five years as Leicester City commercial director, during which time the Foxes rose from Championship also-rans to Premier League champions in 2016.
