Connacht head coach Pat Lam will leave the province at the end of the season to take up the top job at Bristol.?The news will come as a huge blow to the PRO12 side but is a considerable coup for Bristol, who are the foot of the Aviva Premiership. Lam was the inspiration behind Connachts charge to the Guinness PRO12 title last term and leaves big shoes to fill at the province.This has been one of the most difficult decisions Ive had to make in my life as Connacht and Galway is such a special place for myself and my family, Lam said. The friendships, support and memories we all have experienced throughout our time in the West of Ireland is truly heartfelt and will never be forgotten.I feel extremely blessed to have been given an opportunity four years ago to build on the excellent work of Eric Elwood. Im very proud that I can now pass on the baton with the knowledge that Connacht Rugby is truly seen as one of four strong provinces of Irish rugby.And on his move to Bristol, Lam said: Im excited about the opportunity to coach and lead Bristol Rugby -- a proud club with history, tradition and a bright future ahead. What appeals to me most after speaking to Steve Lansdown and Chris Booy is their passion, vision and long term commitment to inspire fellow Bristolians worldwide through rugby success on and off the field.As with my decision to help Connacht Rugby four years ago, my coaching philosophy is very much aligned to assisting them iin making Bristol Rugby a club where the Bristol community can be inspired and Bristol players have a genuine pathway to represent England by the quality of our rugby programme.ddddddddddddIm committed to Bristol irrespective as to what happens in the short-term -- everything is in place for the club to be a force in the future and Im honoured to be invited to join the journey.Lam is in his fourth season at Connacht and he has brought through an impressive crop of Ireland players with five starting against Canada in the recent end-of-year Test. Connacht now start the search for his replacement.Firstly Id like to thank Pat for everything he has done for Connacht Rugby, Connacht CEO Willie Ruane said. He led the province to a first ever trophy and that will be something that will live long in the memory. While there is a lot of rugby yet to be played this season, we wish Pat, Steph and their family the very best in the next chapter of their lives.Connacht Rugby has made a huge amount of progress over the last number of years, with Pat building on the great work of those who went before him and we remain extremely confident and excited about the future.As a club, we will immediately engage with our Professional Games Board and the IRFU with respect to starting the process of recruiting our next head coach.
