Crusaders coach Scott Robertson will succeed Ian Foster as head coach of the All Blacks after this year's World Cup.
Robertson lost out to Foster for the role after the 2019 World Cup when Steve Hansen stood down after New Zealand's third-placed finish.
He has been appointed on a four-year deal which will run to the end of the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
"It's an honour to be named as the next All Blacks head coach," said 48-year-old Robertson.
"It's a job that comes with a huge amount of responsibility, but I'm excited by the opportunity to make a contribution to the legacy of the black jersey.
