NSW Waratahs Super Rugby title-winning coach Michael Cheika has reportedly agreed to coach the Wallabies.
The position fell vacant after Ewen McKenzie announced his resignation following Saturday’s loss to New Zealand in Brisbane.
On Monday afternoon, a number of websites were saying Cheika had reportedly agreed to take on the job.
However, the Australian Rugby Union, had yet to confirm any appointment.
The Wallabies are due to leave for their spring tour of the northern hemisphere at the end of this week.
A squad is likely to be named on Tuesday.
Cheika’s coaching track record includes winning the Heineken Cup with Irish side Leinster and the Waratahs’ maiden Super title earlier this year.
