Sri Lanka head coaching position - apply within

Have you ever wanted to be the head coach of an international cricket team? Well, now's your chance. Former Sri Lanka head coach Marvan Atapattu resigned last month, at which point the Sri Lanka Cricket board advertised for the post in newspapers and on their official website, however, until today, they have yet to receive even one application. No one wants the job and rather curiously SLC CEO Ashley de Silva decided not to head hunt for the position. As such, the team are currently in limbo with Jerome Jayaratne serving as the interim head coach for the forthcoming series against West Indies.

Applications for the position close on Tuesday, 6 October. Time to fire up your C.V. Ketch and work as an inside double agent!

I am surprised that there have been no applications to date. Although, based on the comments from Steve Rixon who was offered the job back in 2013, it would appear that the pay is way below what other head coaches receive.

Quote:"Sri Lanka Cricket sent me a contract which was really embarrassing, I have to say, because it was so poor," Rixon said. "I'm the assistant coach of Australia, and I get more staying with that job than on the contract they sent through. It was really quite embarrassing for an international coach.

"In the end I just texted back several times and said, 'Look, we're talking massive differences in the job package, and I'm not here to debate it with anyone, but where I would be coming from is a lot bigger than what Sri Lanka can afford.' I was looking forward to sitting down and talking to someone, but no one's really given me that respect I suppose, to be able to do that. And I said no, I'm not really interested."

Well Phil Simmons could send in an application and maybe they would fly him over for the West Indies series.
