Coaching Team News | Mike Prendergast Signs Two-Year Contract Extension

Munster Rugby and the IRFU are pleased to confirm a two-year contract extension for Attack Coach Mike Prendergast.

Now in his third season at Munster, Prendergast returned to the province in 2022 after a hugely successful 10-year spell in France coaching the likes of Racing 92, Stade Francais, Oyonnax and Grenoble.

He made an immediate impact and played a key role as the province played some fantastic rugby on their way to a thrilling URC title win in 2022/23.

The attack continued to flourish last season with Munster topping the URC table at the end of the regular season before bowing out at the semi-final stage.

A former Munster, Bourgoin and Gloucester scrum-half, Prendergast held Head Coach and Director of Rugby roles with Young Munster RFC on completion of his playing career.

It was announced earlier today that Defence Coach Denis Leamy has also signed a two-year extension with full details here.
