Gary Gold è il nuovo head coach del Bath. Lo ha confermato il diretto interessato a una radio inglese. Gold all’ultimo Mondiale era nello staff tecnico del Sudafrica mentre gli ultimi quattro mesi li ha passati sulla panchina del Newcastle.
Ora va a prendere il posto lasciato vacante da Ian McGeechan. E Bath ha fatto le cose in grande, chiamando altri due nuovi assistenti, l’ex defence coach della nazionale inglese Mike Ford e l’ex prima linea dei London Irish Neal Hatley
