Strategic direction will be set by National Performance Director Chris Spice, a former performance director for England RFU, Great Britain and England Hockey and more recently British Basketball.
Furniss will use his vast elite coaching experience to provide technical leadership and performance standards to coaches, the home countries and the wider coaching community.
An immediate priority for Furniss will be to utilise the ability and professionalism of Britain's coaches and athletes to bring together a truly world class team.
"I'm looking forward to working with Chris and what I know to be both world class coaches and world class athletes as we strive to deliver the podium results in Rio 2016," he said.

“Bill appears to be a nice, friendly down to earth sort. Likes the odd pint in a pub near where I live. Well, he used to. I've not been in for ages.
Good luck to him.
