Johann van Graan extends Munster contract until 2022

Munster have today announced that Head Coach Johann van Graan has extended his contract with the Province to June 2022.

The South African left his role with the Springboks in November of 2017 to join Munster and has since guided the Province to three consecutive Champions Cup semi-finals, as well as a Pro 14 final.

Speaking after the announcement, van Graan was visibly happy with his decision.

“I am very happy and grateful to be in this position, knowing that I can continue to work with this incredible group of people and play my part in shaping Munster’s future. Coming to Munster I wanted to become part of the community, and every day I get to experience that sense of belonging with my family and I settling in from the very beginning.

“Moments and scenes such as last Saturday week in Edinburgh with the Munster supporters, players and management make for amazing memories, they can never be taken for granted. This is a special place, a special club to be part of and I look forward to continuing the journey together.”

Munster currently lie second in their conference of the Pro 14 and look forward to a Champions Cup semi-final clash with Saracens later this month.
