AS WELL as the ongoing search for a new head coach, Munster are now also on the look-out for a forwards coach following the departure of Andi Kyriacou.

The recruitment process to replace Graham Rowntree and Kyriacou is both underway.

The departure of Kyriacou is clearly understandable.

He explained: โ€œI have lived apart from my young family for several years now and we felt it timely to continue our rugby journey back in the UK.”

โ€œIt has not been an easy decision as Munster is a club very close to my heart and, above all, itโ€™s been a pleasure to be able to coach a group of such impressive young players and men.โ€

Added Kyriacou: โ€œI would like to thank the players, management and fans for the warm welcome throughout both my times at Munster.”

โ€œIโ€™m particularly proud of winning the URC in the 22/23 season, topping the league last year and for all the young players I have helped develop. I wish Munster every success in the future.โ€
