Leigh Nugent could be head coach of the Australian swimming team through the next two Olympics. He signed an agreement with Swimming Australia on Tuesday to be head coach until 2013, with an option to continue through the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero.

In a previous stint as national head coach, Nugent led Australia to its best Olympic performance in the pool when the team collected seven gold medals at Athens in 2004.

He quit after Athens and became national youth coach but returned as interim head coach in December when incumbent Alan Thompson took leave after allegations of inappropriate behavior.
