Jake White at Montpellier
Former Springbok coach Jake White has extended his stay at French Top 14 club Montpellier.
According to French rugby newspaper, Midi Olympique, White has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2017.
White originally signed a 6-month deal at the end of December, but has been rewarded for Montpellier’s improved performances with a 2-year contract extension.
Under White’s guidance, Montpellier have moved up to 7th in the Top 14 standings, and have lost just twice in their last 12 matches.
White, South Africa’s 2007 World Cup winning coach, was brought in to replace Fabien Galthie who was suspended in December last year after Montpellier lost 8 of their 1st 9 games of the season.
Meanwhile, forwards coach, Shaun Sowerby, is also believed to be on the verge of signing a contract extension.

have never been a big fan. Top quality coach. Human being?
Well done Jake White on Montpellier’s big win over Lyon in the weekend. Montpellier are 7 points behind 4th placed team with 5 games to play, could they just sneak into the play offs?
Montpellier have won 10 out of their 21 games in the Top 14, if not all then just about all of those wins have come since Jake White took over, he certainly has the ability to turn things around.
