On July 13, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming resigned from his post. He was the coach of the team for the last 18 years. In the year 2008, he first played a match for CSK as a player and soon after that he became the head coach of the team. But now after the end of the 2026 season, he has left the team. Now news is coming that not only Fleming, but some other big names of the team are also going to leave CSK. In the coming days, the team’s batting coach and bowling coach may also step down from their posts.
Eric Simmons may also leave his post
According to the report of Cricbuzz, after the departure of head coach Stephen Fleming, now bowling coach Eric Simmons may leave the team. However, no concrete information has been revealed yet regarding Mike Hussey. CSK management says that Fleming has decided to leave the post of coach only on his own will and after mutual discussion. Actually, about a month ago, CSK CEO had said that Stephen Fleming will remain the head coach of the team next year also. But what suddenly changed now that Fleming had to resign?
Fleming was handling the rest of the teams of CSK franchise.
Let us tell you that many big changes were already expected in the CSK team before the next season and Fleming’s departure is the beginning of that.

He was also managing the rest of the CSK franchise in other T20 leagues around the world, such as the Texas Super Kings of the MLC and the Joburg Super Kings of the SA20. He was the main architect of all these teams. The performance of the Super Kings team was not good even in MLC and SA20 this season.
CSK management was not happy with Fleming’s way of working
Actually, the senior management of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was not very happy with the way Stephen Fleming was working. He had been associated with the team for a very long time, so now a change was considered certain. Apart from this, the team’s performance in the last three years (2024 to 2026) was also very poor in the IPL. CSK finished fifth, tenth and eighth in the last three seasons. CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan said regarding Fleming that both the parties talked honestly and decided to part ways with consent.
