The Auckland-based franchise was yesterday granted an unconditional licence to join an expanded competition next year.
RNZ Pacific understands former Highlanders coach Aaron Mauger, who is of Samoan and Cook Islands descent, will lead the team in 2022, with fellow former All Black Filo Tiatia coming on board as an assistant coach.
Mauger was a part of the Moana Pasifika coaching staff against the Māori All Blacks last year and Kefu believed it was a good fit.
"Very good coaches, very capable," he said of the impending appointments.
