'Still so much more we can achieve' - Smith signs new Glasgow deal
- Published
Franco Smith has signed a new contract with Glasgow Warriors, keeping him at the club until 2028.
Smith, 53, joined Glasgow as head coach in 2022 and has overseen a period of real success.
The Warriors reached the European Challenge Cup final in his first season in charge, losing out to Toulon, before winning the URC title in the following campaign, beating the Bulls in Pretoria.
The South African has been linked with moves away from Scotland off the back of such achievements, but has now committed his future to Glasgow.
"I'm incredibly proud and grateful to extend my journey with this club," Smith said.
"From day one, I've believed in the vision we share to build something special, to push our limits, and to grow together as a team and as a community.
"The players, the people, and the supporters have created an environment full of trust and ambition, and that inspires me every single day. There's still so much more we can achieve, and I'm excited to keep working hard to take this club to the next level."
