"President Mourad Boudjellal formalised the arrival of Patrice Collazo as general manager of rugby club Toulon," the club said in a statement on their website http://www.rctoulon.com/news/article/toulonnais-patrice-collazo-manager-rct-2018-2019.
Toulon won the European Champions Cup three seasons in a row between 2013 and 2015, but Collazo is the club's fifth head coach in the past 21 months.
The 44-year-old was in charge of La Rochelle for seven years before stepping down last month, amid media reports of a breakdown in his relationship with the club's hierarchy.
La Rochelle just missed out on the playoffs this season, finishing in seventh place.
