Racing 92 are set to secure the services of former England coach Stuart Lancaster as their new head coach next season according to a report in France.

L'Equipe and RMC Sport both reported that the 52-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Top 14 side and is set to replace Laurent Travers, who will become the club's president.

Lancaster started his coaching with Leeds Tykes having played for them previously between 1991 and 2000. He moved to a Elite Rugby Director role of England in 2008 before taking over the head coach role between 2011 and 2015 before he was replaced by Eddie Jones.

He is currently part of Leinster's coaching set up which he joined in September 2016 and helped them win four domestic titles and a European triumph that came in 2018.

The report further went on to add that former Leinster colleague Felipe Contepome could also be part of Lancaster's coaching panel in France next year.
