Ackermann's replacement revealed?

NEWS: English club Gloucester are searching for a top coach to take over at Kingsholm.

According to reports in the United Kingdom, Australian coach Michael Cheika is the latest name linked to the head coach role.

Gloucester are on the hunt for a new boss after both head coach Johann Ackermann and Director of Rugby David Humphreys left the club last month.

The Premiership club had indicated that they were hopeful of announcing new appointments in early July.

It is believed that Chieka is high on the list of candidates for the role.

Former Wales coach Rob Howley, Dai Young, Richard Cockerill and Stuart Lancaster have all also been linked with the position.

Since leaving the Wallabies job after last year’s Rugby World Cup, Cheika has worked with Australian National Rugby League side Sydney Roosters.
