Joe Schmidt, the former Ireland head coach who led the national side to three Six Nations titles and a series of historic victories before departing in 2019, has taken up an advisory role at Ulster, according to Rugby.com.au.
Schmidt most recently served as head coach of the Wallabies, a tenure that ended after Australia’s exit from the 2023 Rugby World Cup. His return to Irish provincial rugby in a consultancy capacity represents a notable development for Ulster.
The precise scope of Schmidt’s advisory responsibilities at Ulster has not been detailed in the available reporting, but his appointment adds significant experience and expertise to the province’s rugby operation.
Schmidt is widely regarded as one of the most influential coaches in Irish rugby history, having previously guided Leinster to three Heineken Cup titles before taking charge of the national team in 2013.
