Munster Confirms Senior Coach Mike Prendergast to Depart at End of 2025/26 Season

Reports link him to Bath's attack coach vacancy under Johann van Graan.

Overview

  • Munster issued an official statement confirming Prendergast will leave at the conclusion of this season after four years back at the province.
  • Multiple outlets report Bath want him to take over their attack, with Martin Gleeson's short‑term contract not being renewed.
  • Munster said a replacement will be appointed in due course and that Prendergast remains fully committed for the remainder of the campaign.
  • Prendergast returned in 2022 after a decade coaching in France with Racing 92, Stade Français, Oyonnax and Grenoble, and he helped deliver the 2022/23 URC title.
  • If he joins Bath, he would reunite with Finn Russell and fill a role vacant since Lee Blackett left to join England's coaching staff.
