Former Bulls coach Heyneke Meyer looks set to make a dramatic return to the Bulls in the capacity of Director of Rugby, with Frans Ludeke continuing as head coach in next year's Super 14.

Meyer coached the Bulls to Super 14 glory in 2007 before taking up a job with Leicester Tigers. He has been in the coaching wilderness for the past few months after relinquishing his duties with the Tigers due to personal reasons.

Since his return to South Africa, Meyer has been linked to several teams but it is believed that he will return to his beloved Bulls, where he won three Currie Cups and the first Super 14 title ever won by a local coach.

The Bulls have scheduled a press conference for Tuesday at Loftus Versfeld in which they will make and announcement about the "strategic changes" in the Blue Bulls Company.

The new structure is based on the model successfully utilized in most Premiership football sides whereby Meyer would be involved in overseeing the Bulls? structures while he could also be closely involved in team strategy, tactics and player recruitment.

Ludeke will continue to be in control of day-to-day playing issues and man-management and he will be responsible for daily training and preparation.

Recently, former Sharks coach Dick Muir was appointed in the same capacity with the Lions while Rassie Erasmus will fulfill a similar role with the Stormers in 2010.
