Leinster assistant coach Felipe Contepomi is set to join Michael Cheika's coaching staff with Argentina, according to reports.
Former Australia coach Cheika has been appointed coach of Argentina through to the 2023 World Cup in France, Argentine media have reported.
Cheika worked with the Pumas for the last two years as an assistant to former head coach Mario Ledesma, who stepped down last month after a string of poor results.
The two have had a long history of working together with Ledesma serving as scrum coach under the Australian at the Wallabies.
Cheika, 55, beat out former Pumas playmaker Gonzalo Quesada, the head coach of French club Stade Francais, to replace Ledesma, La Nacion reported.
Contepomi will join Cheika's staff with the intention of succeeding him after next year's World Cup in France, the newspaper said.
A championship-winning coach with Leinster and Sydney-based Super Rugby side New South Wales Waratahs, Cheika guided the Wallabies to the final of the 2015 World Cup in Britain the year after taking over the team.
He resigned in acrimony four years later, however, after Australia crashed out of the World Cup quarter-finals in Japan, matching their worst result at the global tournament.
