The South African will leave at the end of the season. 

Munster have today confirmed that head coach Johann van Graan will part ways with the province.

Van Graan was offered a contract extension but will not be progressing with it, according to a statement.

He'll leave at the end of the season so it'll be June 2022 when he'll be relieved of his duties.

Van Graan first came into the coaching fold at Thomond Park in November 2017.

On the Munster Rugby website, van Graan said it was "best for my family, myself and Munster Rugby."

"My family and I settled well into life here, this is our home," he said.

"In an ideal world we would love to continue living in Limerick, but I’ve been looking at the bigger picture."

"I am now into my fifth season with this group and in putting Munster first I believe it’s the right decision."

"While we have achieved so much together, and still have over six months of the season remaining."
