World Cup-winning coach in 2007 Jake White has been appointed director of rugby for the Bulls.
He will work with Bulls coach Pote Human in the role until the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
Sitting in 12th position on the Super Rugby ladder, the Bulls had only one win in six games before the season was interrupted by the coronavirus.
But White intends hitting the ground running.
"We need to rebuild a winning culture at Loftus, and that will no doubt bring the fans back to their beloved Loftus Versfeld.
"This won't be easy, but we are up for it," White said.
"It's no secret that our franchise rugby needs to be strong for the Boks to be strong. I'm looking forward to doing whatever it takes to keep them at number one," he said.
White has been coaching in Japan recently but has had stints in France and Australia since his side won the World Cup in France in 2007.
"The Bulls brand has always been a powerhouse in rugby, and respected around the world. There's a great history and heritage here, and I'm looking forward to adding my contribution to the Bulls' legacy," he said.
He said there was a determination in the Bulls' organisation to re-invent and re-mould the face of rugby in South Africa.
