Bath have confirmed the appointment of Todd Blackadder as Director of Rugby and Tabai Matson as head coach.
Former All Black captain, Blackadder, has been in charge of Super Rugby's Crusaders since 2009, taking them to four Super Rugby semi-finals and two finals and making the play-offs in all but one season.
He has signed a three-year deal and replaces Mike Ford, who stepped down as coach at the end of the 2016 season, and brings with him Matson, who served as Blackadder's assistant coach at Crusaders from 2013 having led Canterbury to their fifth straight ATM Cup as head coach in 2012.
Since May 2015 he has been attack coach for the Fiji national side, including at last year's Rugby World Cup.
Blackadder said: "I'm really looking forward to joining Bath - they are an ambitious club, with some very talented players.
"They play attacking rugby, and have a clear vision of where they want to be. Tabai and I are really excited to be part of that and to develop it further over the coming seasons."
Matson added: "Both Todd and I are eagerly anticipating joining Bath, and linking up with Toby, Darren and Stuart as well as the squad and wider team. There is a lot of knowledge in the team and a great squad of players. I can't wait to link up with them and get started."
