Current Clermont Coach Franck Azéma has been hinted to take over John McKee as Flying Fijians Coach.
This as Clermont could be in the market for a new head coach by the end of the season according to a report in Midi Olympique.
Azéma has been on Clermont’s payroll since 2010 having moved over to lead the backs.
In 2014, Azéma took over as head coach of the side and helped the side to the TOP 14 Final last season as well as a Challenge Cup title.
As it stands, McKee is still the head coach of Fiji and simply answered ‘Why should I step down?”, when asked if he would continue as Fiji’s head coach after the World Cup.
Although, Azéma is under contract until 2023 with Clermont, Midi Olympique state that the club is willing to listen to offers from the Fijian Rugby Union.
Fiji suffered a shock defeat to Uruguay in the Rugby World Cup after going down in a spirited effort against Australia, beat Georgia before losing to Wales in their final game.
