Mike Prendergast has put his hand up to take over as the southern province’s boss.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Quinta do Lago IRFU PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR David Humphreys said the union hopes to confirm the identity of Munster ’s next permanent head coach in the coming weeks as he indicated that an “external” appointment is still on the cards.
With former head coach Graham Rowntree having departed in October, some Munster supporters hoped for an announcement on his successor by now but Humphreys believes it would have been wrong to rush the process. “We believe that getting the coaching team right in all the provinces is absolutely essential to the longer-term success.“We know with the squad that Munster have coming through, it’s making sure that any appointment is in place for a longer term.”
“So I have absolutely no doubt that by the time we’re ready to make an appointment, it will put Munster in a very good place going forward.” “The fact that this process has been ongoing is never any reflection on what’s there,” said Humphreys.

Limerick Mayor Calls for Share of Data Centre Windfall for MunsterLimerick's directly-elected mayor, John Moran, has urged the government to allocate a significant portion of the €14 billion windfall from data center taxation to Munster.
