Eddie Jones has been appointed Japan head coach for a second time.
In September Jones denied being interviewed for the Japan job, days before taking Australia into the 2023 World Cup.
The 63-year-old Australian resigned as Wallabies coach in October after they failed to reach the knockout stages.
Jones, whose mother and wife are Japanese, will begin the job at the start of January.
Australia coach from 2001 to 2005, Jones returned to the role in January on a contract until 2027.
On 17 October he said he remained committed to Australia despite their poor World Cup, but resigned two weeks later.
“Coaching a team is a bit like a marriage – you need commitment from both sides,” he said.
