According to a report by The Indian Express, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have let go of Mike Hesson and Sanjay Bangar as members of their backroom staff. RCB need a new head coach for IPL 2024 now. There is a slight possibility that the team may look at some of their former players as a member of the coaching staff soon.
Since the year 2008, several big names have represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. In this listicle now, we will look at the five former RCB players whom they can hire as their new head coach soon.
1. Will AB de Villiers become the new head coach of RCB?
AB de Villiers has been one of the most impactful players in the Indian Premier League history. The South African star has a great relationship with both Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, which makes him a good option.
2. Will Brendon McCullum become the new head coach of RCB?
Brendon McCullum left Kolkata Knight Riders last year to join England as the new Test coach. McCullum ended his IPL career at RCB in 2018. If the two parties can work out a deal, perhaps, McCullum could return to the league.
3. Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle can prove to be the coolest head coach in the Indian Premier League history. He is a RCB Hall of Famer and can become a coach just like DJ Bravo and Kieron Pollard.
4. Eoin Morgan
Regarded by many as one of the greatest tacticians in cricket history, Eoin Morgan can return to the league as a coach as well. Morgan had a short stint as RCB player in the early days of his career.
5. Dillon du Preez
Dillon du Preez played for RCB in IPL 2009. He had a memorable season and later played in CLT20 as well. Dillon was the coach of South Africa Women, who made it to the Women’s T20 World Cup Final. It will be interesting to see if RCB hire him.
