Former Wallabies head coach Dave Rennie, who was sacked and replaced by Eddie Jones in January, will take over at Japanese side Kobe Steelers next season, the club announced Friday.
It will be the veteran s second stint in charge after his 2001-2005 spell during which he took the Wallabies to the 2003 World Cup final, where they lost on home soil to England, thanks to a last-minute drop-goal from Jonny Wilkinson.
Former England boss Eddie Jones was appointed the new Australia coach on Monday in "a major coup" after Dave Rennie was sacked, and vowed to steer them to World Cup glory in France this year.
