Rugby:World Cup-winning coach Graham Henry has admitted he is interested in coaching in Europe after stepping down as New Zealand coach. Henry, 65, saw his side narrowly beat France 8-7 in the World Cup final last month to claim their second title.

“I would like to spend a little bit of time assisting, if there is a demand from a club or from a union in Europe,” Henry told BBC Radio 5 live. “It would be stimulating and challenging and a new focus.

“If you are going to get involved with a club in Europe, you can only do one, and I haven’t got a lot of time due to things I have to do in New Zealand.”

The former Wales coach, who won 88 of his 103 Tests as All Blacks coach during his eight year reign, is also in talks to stay on as a “coach mentor” with the New Zealand Rugby Union. He admitted the right job and the salary would be crucial factors in deciding his future.
