New job.
Bernard Jackman has been named as head coach at Leinster Senior League Division 1A club Bective Rangers FC, in a truly massive coup for the non-All Ireland League outfit.
The former Grenoble and Dragons boss will take up the reigns from next season onwards, as he looks to try and get them back playing in the upper echelons of Irish club rugby in the coming years.
“I’m excited for this new challenge and can’t wait to get started”, says Jackman.
“I always found Bective to be a club with great people and having helped out the squad at the end of the season I think they have the potential for future success”.
Delighted to be asked. Looking forward to lots of great matches and late nights in the bar after games.
