RCB management’s thoughts on a likely rework of the coaching setup. RCB finished sixth in the IPL 2023 season with seven victories from 14 games.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise has yet to renew its contracts with its head coach, Sanjay Bangar, and Director of Cricket Operations, Mike Hesson, following the 2023 season. Notably, the three-time finalists ended sixth in the IPL 2023 season with seven victories from 14 games.
Contracts are typically renew before September of each year. The franchise recently stated that they are still reviewing the situation and would make a formal announcement if any changes have been made.
“Their contract with RCB remains in effect.” The team is currently being review . ” We will return if there is any announcement on team changes. ” RCB said in a statement, according to ESPN Cricinfo.
Hesson, a New Zealand cricket coach, joined Bangalore in August 2019 after the franchise restructured its coaching staff after finishing last in the same year. Bangar, on the other hand, joined RCB ahead of the 2022 season after Simon Katich stepped down from the position.

Under Mike Hesson’s management, RCB finished fourth in the IPL 2020 season, losing the Eliminator to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and third in 2021, losing the Eliminator to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
