Worcester have confirmed Carl Hogg is to leave Gloucester to become head coach of the Aviva Premiership club.
Former Scotland international Hogg has spent the last seven years with the Cherry and Whites, where he held the role of forwards coach, but felt the chance to take up his first head coach position was too good to turn down.
Hogg’s switch reunites him with former Gloucester boss Dean Ryan, who was recently named as the Warriors new director of rugby following the departure of Richard Hill.
Worcester have confirmed Carl Hogg is to leave Gloucester to become head coach of the Aviva Premiership club.
Former Scotland international Hogg has spent the last seven years with the Cherry and Whites, where he held the role of forwards coach, but felt the chance to take up his first head coach position was too good to turn down.
Hogg’s switch reunites him with former Gloucester boss Dean Ryan, who was recently named as the Warriors new director of rugby following the departure of Richard Hill.
The 43-year-old won five caps for his country during his playing career before moving into coaching following his retirement in 2003.
He worked alongside current England boss Stuart Lancaster and Tony Stanger at the Leeds academy before moving to London Welsh and Edinburgh.
He joined Gloucester in 2006, initially working with the academy before being promoted to the role of forwards coach.
He said: “I have been presented with an exciting opportunity to move forward in my coaching career as head coach at Worcester Warriors.
“It is a fantastic new challenge and I look forward to the season ahead at Sixways, and of course the local derbies between Worcester Warriors and Gloucester.”
