CSK parts ways with head coach Stephen Fleming

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have confirmed their departure from head coach Stephen Fleming, marking the end of a historic era for the Indian Premier League franchise. Fleming, who transitioned from player to coach in 2009, guided the team to multiple championships during his tenure.

The move follows a period of increasing pressure on the coaching staff after the team’s recent performances on the field. The franchise has faced criticism for inconsistent results and a perceived need for a tactical refresh in the leadership department.

Fleming had been under fire in the last few years after CSK failed to qualify for the Playoffs in the last three seasons since its title-winning campaign in 2023. The organization is expected to announce a new coaching structural update in the coming weeks. Source: IPL News
