The contract for the new FIJI Water Flying Fijians Head Coach is scheduled to begin today, but the Fiji Rakavi Football Union is yet to announce who will take charge of the national side, with less than three weeks until Fiji faces Japan.
According to the advertised terms for the position, the contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 December 2027.
The Flying Fijians face Japan on 24 October before beginning their Nations Championship campaign in November, raising questions about when preparations under the new coach will begin.
The 68-member extended squad was named eight days ago, with questions also remaining over whether the incoming head coach will be responsible for selecting the final squad.
The FRU had earlier confirmed that 31 applications were received for the position.
Former Wales coach Warren Gatland and former Springboks coach Jake White are among the high-profile names linked with the position, although the FRU has not confirmed whether either applied.
