Bulls mum on new coach

Cape Town - The Bulls are mum as to who could possibly succeed Frans Ludeke as their new head coach.

Media speculation has been rife about possible candidates for the new post in Pretoria.

According to Netwerk24, Junior Springbok coach Dawie Theron is being mentioned as a possible successor to Ludeke, who was stood down despite having another year left on his contract.

Despite the Theron rumours, the Bulls insist no decision has been made yet.

“The Blue Bulls Company (BBC) will not comment about rumours about possible coaches mentioned in the media,” BBC CEO Barend van Graan said.

Springbok lock Victor Matfield has also been touted as a possible head coach, as well as current Springbok assistant coach Johann van Graan.

There were also rumours that Bok coach Heyneke Meyer could return to the Bulls if his contract with the national team is not renewed later this year.
