PARIS (Reuters) - Former Italy and Stade Francais flyhalf Diego Dominguez will succeed Bernard Laporte as Toulon coach for the 2016-17 season and New Zealand centre Ma'a Nonu will join next term, club president Mourad Boudjellal said on Saturday.

"I can say that Diego Dominguez will be Bernard Laporte's successor," Boudjellal told French TV channel Canal Plus, adding that Dominguez would arrive in January 2016 to make a "smooth transition" with Laporte, who will step down at the end of the 2015-16 season.
