Russell Domingo, who was yesterday appointed as South Africa’s next head coach, said he planned to build on the structures put in place by incumbent Gary Kirsten.
Domingo, 38, is assistant coach to Kirsten, who announced on Friday he would not be renewing his two-year contract which expires at the end of July. “I know what David Moyes is feeling,” said Domingo, comparing the challenge of taking over from a successful coach as being similar to Moyes’ appointment to succeed Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager.
Under Kirsten, South Africa became the number one team in the world Test rankings. “Hopefully I can continue to take the side to another level,” said Domingo.
