Exeter Chiefs have confirmed former Bristol Bears defence coach Omar Mouneimne will join the club ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The experienced South African will link up with the Devon club for the start of pre-season training in mid-July and take responsibility for the defence, arriving at Sandy Park following a two-year stint at Bristol.
Mouneimne's appointment comes following controversy around his exit at Bristol a week before the end of the regular season with reports from The Telegraph that senior players had confronted him over claims he was secretly using a fake Twitter account to criticise Bears head coach Pat Lam. Mouneimne fully denies any involvement.
