Former Fiji U20 coach and number 8, Inoke Male is the new Flying Fijians head coach.
The Fiji Rugby Union made the announcement this afternoon after 2 days of interview with 8 short listed applicants from the 25 who showed their interest in getting the job.
FRU Chairman, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga said that many will be surprised by their choice of head coach in giving Inoke Male the post but they have to understand that IRB rep, Brian O’Shea was present in the interview.
Tikoitoga added that O’Shea assisted in naming the coach but did not influence the board in anyway.
Male coached the Fiji U20 in their best ever finish in the RWC where they were ranked 6th.
Also he guided Tailevu to win the Farebrother Sullivan trophy and took Vatukoula to the major union last year.
His contract is for 2 years.
