After 18 long years as head coach, Stephen Fleming and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) parted ways mutually on Monday.
Ever since the franchise failed to qualify for IPL Playoffs for a third straight time this season, Fleming’s future as head coach was uncertain, with the management weighing its options. And after a review conducted alongside Major League Cricket, where CSK’s sister franchise Texas Super Kings finished bottom, it is understood that they took the decision to seek a new coach.
“We had an honest discussion and where we evaluated the season, and we decided to part ways mutually,” CSK MD Kasi Viswanathan told The Indian Express.
