Pierre Mignoni will leave his job as backs coach at Toulon at the end of the season to take over the helm at Top 14 rivals Lyon.

Mignoni, 38, has been at Toulon since 2011 and has helped them to two European Cups and one Top 14 title. Lyon are currently bottom of the Top 14 table, seven points from safety, and are in danger of dropping out of the top flight next year.
