Waikato Chiefs coach McMillan to take reins at Munster
Waikato Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan will leave New Zealand at the end of the Super Rugby season to take the reins at Irish club Munster, it was announced Thursday.
McMillan has been in charge of the Chiefs since 2021, guiding the Hamilton-based side to three Super Rugby finals in four seasons.
"The decision to leave wasn't easy -– I love my job, the people we represent, and what we value as a club," McMillan said in a statement Thursday.
"But I take real comfort in knowing the team is in great hands moving forward, with a talented playing group, coaches and staff."
He will assume the new role in July on a three-year contract.
Munster have been under the interim control of Ian Costello since England's Graham Rowntree departed in October after a run of losses.
"Throughout our conversations with Clayton, what really stood out was his experience and how his coaching philosophy and values align with what we want to achieve at Munster Rugby," said Munster boss Ian Flanagan.
"His understanding and knowledge of Munster Rugby was very impressive, and his skillset will complement our very talented coaching group."
The Chiefs, who have opened the Super Rugby season with two straight wins, said it would not be commenting on McMillan's successor until the end of season.
