Quesada 'set to become' Racing backs coach

Former Argentinian fly-half Gonzalo Quesada is set to move from being the French national side's kicking coach to become backs coach of Racing-Metro according to L'Equipe on Sunday. The 37-year-old - capped 38 times between 1996 and 2003 - has been in his present post for four years and had been asked by incoming France coach Philippe Saint-Andre to stay on as he is close to the players. Quesada, who numbered among his clubs as a player Toulon and Stade Francais during eight years in French club rugby, will replace Simon Mannix, who was sacked after Friday's 28-9 Top 14 win over Biarritz. The 40-year-old New Zealander - capped once by the All Blacks - had been at Racing since 2007 in the days when it was still a Second Division club and had only recently extended his contract.
