Andy Flower has been appointed head coach of the London Spirit’s men’s team, succeeding Justin Langer. In Langer’s first and only season as head coach, the Spirit finished seventh out of eight teams.
Andy Flower quits the Trent Rockets after five seasons with the team.
MCC and the ‘Tech Titans’, a group of wealthy individuals including the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, YouTube, and Adobe, took over the Spirit’s operations earlier this week. They intend to handle the franchise as a joint venture.
Meanwhile, Flower will rejoin Director of Cricket Mo Bobat at the Spirit. Notably, the duo led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to their first IPL title in 2025. Bobat expressed his excitement, together with Flower, to help utilise each other’s expertise for the benefit of the Spirit.
“I’m delighted that we’ve been able to secure Andy’s services as our men’s head coach. Andy and I have enjoyed a strong working relationship in the past, and I’m looking forward to building something special with him at London Spirit as we enter this new and exciting phase for the franchise,” stated Bobat.
Flower also expressed his sentiments on getting another opportunity of working along with Bobat.
“It’s a real privilege to be part of such an iconic venue and organisation. I’m also thrilled to be working once again with Mo, and for the first time with both MCC and the Tech Titans,” Flower commented.
Speaking of how the Spirit have performed in the tournament overall, they were champions of the Women’s Hundred in 2024. However, they have consistently underperformed in the men’s division. The men’s side has won only 12 of their 38 completed matches. Five of those came in 2022 when Eoin Morgan had led them to the knockout phase. That was the only time they reached the knockouts.
