Head coach Scott leaves Middlesex

Middlesex head coach Richard Scott has left his position after nearly a decade in the role.

Scott was appointed during the summer of 2009 and his greatest moment came when Middlesex clinched the Specsavers County Championship title in 2016. [phone]

However, they were relegated last season and their hopes of regaining Division One status have been hit by three losses in their opening seven second-tier fixtures.

Assistant coach Richard Johnson, a former Middlesex seamer who played three Tests and 10 one-day internationals for England, will take charge for the remaining seven championship games.

Former New Zealand all-rounder Daniel Vettori will oversee Middlesex in the Vitality Blast, as he did for last season’s T20 campaign.

Middlesex’s managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said: “On behalf of Middlesex Cricket I would like to thank Richard for all that he has given the club as head coach during the past 10 years; he has been a loyal, hard-working, committed and high-quality coach.

“As with every coach in professional sport we have shared highs and lows, but to play a leading role in a side winning the County Championship is a triumph very few coaches can claim.”
