South African World Cup winner Chester Williams will Monday formally take up his role as technical director to Romanian side Dinamo Bucarest, the Mediafax news agency has reported.
Williams, 37, and a mainstay of the 1995 World Cup-winning Springbok side in which he was the only black player, moved into coaching last year after injuries curtailed his playing career in 2000 after 27 caps which saw him score 14 tries, according to a report on IOL.
He coached the national sevens side in his homeland for two years before taking charge of the Ugandan national side and then having a spell with Tunisia.
Williams had been short-listed as a possible successor to South Africa’s 2007 World Cup winning coach Jake White before the job went to Peter De Villiers.
Dinamo Bucarest won their 15th league title last season.

Certainly the road less traveled. Still, exposure to a lot of different approaches can only turn Chessie into a better coach.
Or rather, could hardly turn him into a worse one 😉
I just dont understand Chester’s reasoning.
He questions why he doesnt get top-class coaching roles but he then takes up contracts to coach the likes of Ghana and some club side in eastern Europe.
What si the guy thinking? He’d surely pick up more experience coaching Grey Bloem’s u/10 side?
How is coaching in Romanis going to improve his coaching skills?
Uganda…
Yip sorry got that wrong…
He also apparently did a stint with tunisia…
you got a good podcasting voice, Vincenzo?
And hes still on the shortlist for the assistant coaching job for the Boks??
Is he really? I thought he wasn’t interested in an assistant coach position
He did coach the Pumas and we all know that the Pumas played in the world cup semi’s. 😈
That thudding sound is my head hitting the keyboard 😉
He should have stick to sevens, or his last lifeline being Jake White assistant when offered… 🙄
If you don’t shape up……you gotta ship out 😉
Adios amigo’s…adios my bokkie…
shark-tank,
Not such a faithful captain onboard… will easily jump-off before it sinks… 😯
Charlie…. 😆
not with you okes… 😉
