The race to sign Head Coaches will start after the 2024 T20 World Cup. Before IPL 2025 Mega Auctions, a few teams could have a new name at the helm of affairs. Some of these teams might also be targeting a few coaches in action at the T20 World Cup. Jonathan Trott has impressed many with his performance as the Head Coach of Afghanistan. He would be looking at the next step in his career. A gig in IPL could be that. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two franchises that must target Jonathan Trott as the next Head Coach before IPL 2025 Auctions.
1) Mumbai Indians
Mark Boucher has failed to do well for Mumbai Indians. He had a strong squad but the team was able to finish only last in IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians management might sack the South African cricketer and find a new coach who can take the team forward.
There are not many impressive options available right now in the market. MI might want someone young and who is more in tune with the modern demands of the game. In this regard, Trott would fit the profile. Hence, MI can approach the Englishman.
2) Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is one of the franchises that must target Jonathan Trott as the next Head Coach before the IPL 2025 Auctions. Trevor Bayliss could not help PBKS reach the playoffs in two seasons. Hence, PBKS might get rid of the experienced coach.
For PBKS, they would need someone who can stay on the job for a long time. This consistency has been missing for them. The management needs to trust coaches for at least a cycle and Trott is someone who can given this task. He is young and might evolve his philosophy through the stint as a Head Coach.
