Rugby Australia has confirmed Joe Schmidt has been appointed as Wallabies coach.
Schmidt signs a two-year deal starting in March, committing to the side until the end of the British and Irish Lions tour in 2025.
The 58-year-old is renowned for his success with Ireland, winning three Six Nations titles along with historic wins over the All Blacks and South Africa.
The 2018 World Rugby Coach of the Year led Ireland to the world number one ranking in 2019 before linking up with the All Blacks as an Assistant Coach.
Prior to this, he won two European Championships with Irish powerhouse Leinster along to go with the Challenge Cup and Pro 14 title.
Schmidt recognised the challenge ahead of him, replacing Eddie Jones after the Wallabies missed the World Cup knockout stages for the first time in history.
