It’s been confirmed that former Springbok coach Allister Coetzee has been appointed as the new Namibia head coach.

His appointment was confirmed by Namibia Rugby on Thursday.

The 58-year-old Coetzee previously coached the Stormers (2010-15) and the Springboks (2016-17) before joining the Canon Eagles.

However, since parting ways with the Japanese side in 2020, Coetzee has not held a head-coach position.
