A recognisable face has made a sooner-than-expected return to coaching in the Premiership after Worcester Warriors announced Steve Diamond will take over as their director of rugby next season.
The news was announced on the same day that the Sixways outfit confirmed head coach Jonathan Thomas has stepped down 'with immediate effect'.
Diamond, 60, has been serving Worcester as a 'lead rugby consultant' since November 2021, a little less than 12 months after he ended an almost decade-long stint at the helm of Sale Sharks.
