Premiership strugglers London Irish have overhauled their coaching set-up, reuniting the team who won a Grand Slam with Ireland in 2009.
Declan Kidney has been named technical consultant and Les Kiss takes over as head coach - both on three-year contracts which will continue even if the Exiles are relegated.
Kidney coached Ireland to Grand Slam glory, with Kiss as defence coach, and led Munster to a pair of Champions Cup wins.
Kiss has also held coaching posts with South Africa and New South Wales Waratahs, and been director of rugby at Ulster.
Technical director Brendan Venter has left London Irish with immediate effect - with the Exiles currently bottom of the Aviva Premiership, after just two wins all season.
Mick Crossan, London Irish's president and majority shareholder, said: "The current coaches under Brendan Venter, who has occupied a part-time technical director role with the club since summer 2016, have worked very hard to consolidate our position in the Aviva Premiership following promotion last year, but it is fair to say that things haven't gone to plan.
"We feel that the time is now right to bring in someone to replace Brendan and to work with the current coaches to give us a new direction."
Kidney said: "London Irish is a club with a proud and rich tradition, both in London and in Ireland, and I had no hesitation in agreeing to join the team at Hazelwood.
"I'm under no illusions that this is going to be a challenging job.
"English club rugby is very competitive, and it is going to take several years for us to cement a place at the top end of the Aviva Premiership, but I believe that with the right structures this becomes a realistic ambition for us.
"I'm particularly excited to be working with Les Kiss again. We had a great relationship with the Ireland national team and I know that he is the right person to join me on this journey."
