Toulouse have unveiled their new coaching set-up for the 2015-16 season with Fabien Pelous taking over as sporting director and Ugo Mola taking on responsibility for the first team.

The duo step into the void left by Guy Noves who will take over as France boss when Philippe Saint-Andre steps down on November 1. The new-look coaching set-up will see Pelous and Mola sitting alongside each other in the hierarchy with Toulouse president Rene Bouscatel keen to shift things around in the wake of Noves' departure. He has labelled the new-look backroom staff as 'two-headed'.

Pelous will preside over the off-field matters at Toulouse and focus on their development while Mola will act as head coach alongside assistants Jean-Baptiste Elissalde and William Servat.

Toulouse have also announced veteran No.8 Imanol Harinordoquy has extended his stay at the club by a further year while they have confirmed the capture of scrum-half David Mele from Leicester.
