La Rochelle head coach Ronan O'Gara has signed an agreement to remain at the club until 2031.

The decision comes after the team secured a spot in the Investec Champions Cup by finishing sixth in the domestic league.

O'Gara joined the squad in 2019 after managing spells with Racing 92 and Crusaders in New Zealand.

Last campaign, the side were eliminated from their home competition at the quarter-final stage by Stade Francais.

They also faced Ulster in the Challenge Cup before being knocked out in that fixture.

Action resumes this Saturday when La Rochelle take on Racing 92.

The club will now focus on preparing for their upcoming European campaign.
