Former Harlequins boss Paul Gustard has been promoted to the head coach role at Stade Francais, the Top 14 strugglers who split with Karim Ghezal at the end of last month following a poor start to the new season.

The 48-year-old Gustard, who exited Quins in early 2021, got back on track as an assistant at Benetton for their 2021/22 season and he has continued coaching defence since his switch to Paris from Treviso after just a single URC campaign.

Having finished last term as French semi-finalists following a second-place regular season finish, Stade lost three of their four September matches before letting Ghezal go.

A club statement read: “Following a decision by the sports management, it was decided to reorganise the sports staff and Paul Gustard is promoted to head coach of Stade Francais Paris.
