My job is to help players enjoy and play their best: Phil Simmons on Bangladesh Role

Simmons had previously expressed interest in the Bangladesh coaching job on two occasions. The first was in 2017, when Chandika Hathurusingha abruptly resigned from his initial stint with Bangladesh. Despite Simmons' interview, the role was handed to Steve Rhodes. Two years later, in 2019, after Rhodes’ departure, Simmons once again applied for the position, only to see Russell Domingo chosen. Now, following Hathurusingha's controversial dismissal under the leadership of new BCB President Faruque Ahmed, Simmons finally lands the role he had sought for years.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially named Phil Simmons, the legendary Trinidadian cricketer and coach, as the new head coach of the Bangladesh national team. Simmons, a former West Indies cricketer and coach, takes over from Chandika Hathurusingha, whose departure was anticipated but officially confirmed later. Unlike in the past, the BCB quietly conducted the search for a new coach this time, eventually selecting Simmons for the crucial role.

Now, following Hathurusingha's controversial dismissal under the leadership of new BCB president Faruque Ahmed, Simmons finally lands the role he had sought for years.

Simmons revealed that discussions with the BCB progressed quickly, with him receiving the offer about a week and a half before the official announcement. In his first media appearance as Bangladesh's head coach, Simmons, 61, shared his thoughts: “Today’s Saturday? Well, I received the offer a week and a half ago. I didn’t get the job before, so how can I explain how different it feels now? (laughs). Unfortunately, I missed out back then."

Simmons is no stranger to international coaching, but he acknowledged that coaching Bangladesh presents unique challenges. The position has a reputation for being high-pressure, with coaches frequently leaving before their contracts end, either due to resignation or dismissal. However, Simmons is prepared to face the challenge, understanding the intensity of the role.

“All international coaching jobs are hot seats. Bangladesh is different. Pakistan is different. For me, it is a case of getting the players to play and enjoy everything and win matches. The seat is not hot. The last two days have been really good,” Simmons added.
