O'Gara to Stay with La Rochelle Until 2031
The former Munster out-half has won two European Cups with La Rochelle and had been linked with the Leinster job.
- On Monday, Ronan O'Gara officially ended speculation linking him with Leinster by signing a contract extension to remain head coach of Stade Rochelais until 2031.
- Since arriving in 2019, O'Gara guided La Rochelle to back-to-back European Champions Cup titles in 2022 and 2023, delivering the club's first major silverware.
- Although O'Gara has expressed ambition to coach at Test level, his options narrowed as Andy Farrell, Steve Borthwick, and Fabien Galthie secured long-term roles with Ireland, England, and France.
- La Rochelle made a strong start to the new Top 14 season, defeating Toulouse on the opening weekend before securing a 21-20 away victory against Toulon on Saturday.
- "I am convinced that the best is still ahead of us," O'Gara said, as he committed to continuing his work with the club and striving for further success.
