Bulls to Announce New Head Coach by Next Week Friday
The Vodacom Bulls are on the verge of unveiling their new head coach, with an official announcement expected by next week Friday. The Pretoria-based franchise is in the final stages of appointing a new figure to take charge of the senior team following an intense internal review and months of speculation.
The decision comes as the Bulls look to bounce back from a mixed 2024/25 season and reinforce their ambitions for silverware in the United Rugby Championship (URC) and Currie Cup. While Jake White remains in his role as director of rugby, the Bulls are reportedly looking for a fresh coaching voice to manage day-to-day operations and inject renewed energy into the squad.
Sources close to Loftus Versfeld suggest that interviews with top-tier candidates have already been concluded. Both local and international names have been considered, with strong speculation around experienced South African coaches such as Johann van Graan and Neil Powell. However, the franchise has yet to confirm any official shortlist.
An insider familiar with the discussions said, “The announcement is scheduled to be made before or by next Friday. The process has been thorough, and the Bulls are confident in their choice.”
The new head coach is expected to take immediate control of pre-season preparations and bring tactical direction to a team brimming with young and experienced talent. With several high-profile player signings already confirmed in recent weeks, the coaching announcement is the final piece in what could be a new era for Bulls rugby.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal, hopeful that the new coach will lead the Bulls back to their dominant best and restore the Loftus fortress ahead of a crucial season.
