Up until the end of the season, Patrice Collazo, a former Racing prop, will take over. Collazo previously worked as an academy coach for the club.
In a statement, Racing said: “Racing 92 and Stuart Lancaster have decided to end their collaboration with immediate effect.
Stuart Lancaster is praised by Racing 92, and we wish him the best of all. Stuart, for his part, wishes Racing 92 the best for both the current and upcoming seasons.
