The former Ireland and Lions lock will leave Castres at the end of this season.
THIS WILL BE Irishman Jeremy Davidson ’s last season in charge of Castres , the club he played for between his two tours with the Lions in 1997 and 2001.
Last season was Davidson’s first full campaign as the head coach of Castres, who gave him his first taste of professional coaching when he joined them as an assistant all the way back in 2007 after a few years with Dungannon RFC. Fabre passed away in July 2013, just weeks after Castres had won the club’s fourth Top 14 title, their first in a decade and the perfect tribute to him. They added another title in 2018 and were beaten finalists as recently as 2022.
Davidson has been out of the Irish limelight for a long time now. When he left Ulster in 2011, he took over at Pro D2 club Aurillac, an even smaller town of 26,000 people. But only seven games into the Top 14 campaign of 2022/23, Davidson exited following heavy defeats to Toulon and Toulouse. It seemed a little premature and Brive were duly relegated at the end of the season.Davidson wasn’t out of work long as he took over at struggling Castres in February 2023, steadying the ship as they finished ninth before making obvious improvements last season as the Irish boss once again showed his smarts in recruitment.
