This is Leicestershire --Leicester Tigers have unveiled their new coaching team to replace the departing Matt O'Connor.
Tigers great and fans' favourite Geordan Murphy has been installed in a new-look set-up ready for next season.
The Irishman, who retired from the game by lifting the Premiership trophy on Saturday, will join Paul Burke as their new backs coaching team.
O'Connor will start his new job as head coach at Leinster on July 1.
Former Tigers and Munster fly-half Burke moves up from assistant coach to the role of backs coach, while Murphy joins the club's backroom staff as an assistant coach.
They will both work alongside director of rugby Richard Cockerill and assistant forwards coach Richard Blaze.
Cockerill said both men come with good pedigrees. "Matt O'Connor has done a fantastic job in his five years with the club and we are sorry to see him leave," he said.
"Paul Burke has been learning his job as an assistant coach over the last five years here and has done a very good job.
"He is very experienced in the game in a number of different environments and we see this as an opportunity for him to make his own mark on the team.
"Geordan obviously knows Leicester Tigers very well. He knows and understands the game at the very highest level and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to pass on to others.
"He has enjoyed a very successful and lengthy playing career and we believe he can become a top-class coach.
"By bringing Paul and Geordan together in the coaching team, we have a degree of continuity which I feel is very important in our environment.
"Richard Blaze has done an excellent job on the coaching side since he had to retire as a player at a very young age. He works very hard at his facets of the game and continues to develop and improve all the time.
"We all bring different things to the table. It is important to have a strong coaching team who all work together."
Burke is well-respected within the current squad and has spent much of the past five years as O'Connor's right-hand man.
His task will be to carry on O'Connor's basic philosophy while adding his own mark on the position.
Murphy, meanwhile, will bring his wealth of experience from more than a decade at the top of his sport.
