Warren Gatland has signed a contract extension with the Welsh Rugby Union to remain the Welsh manager until 2019. Gatland, appointed in 2007, is already the longest serving manager in Welsh rugby history, and despite suffering some heavy losses and disappointing runs during his reign, is immensely popular in Wales after leading his team to two consecutive Six Nations titles and the semifinals of the 2011 World Cup. Gatland’s contract includes a clause that he will be able to leave his post in 2017 if asked by the British and Irish Lions to coach them.
