Namibia Cricket Head Coach Pierre de Bruyn Steps Down After Six Years

Pierre de Bruyn has officially resigned as the head coach of the Namibia national men’s cricket team after more than six years in charge. De Bruyn, who began his tenure in 2018, led Namibia through a period marked by landmark achievements, including qualification for three T20 World Cups and securing ODI status for the first time in the nation’s history.

The decision was described as difficult, driven by De Bruyn’s desire to be closer to his family. He has accepted a new role with the Titans Women franchise in Centurion, South Africa, marking the next chapter of his coaching career. De Bruyn’s departure brings an end to a transformative era in Namibian cricket, one characterized by vision, leadership, and a lasting legacy within the team and the broader cricketing community.

Cricket Namibia acknowledged De Bruyn’s significant contributions, emphasizing the impact he has had on the development and success of the national team. As he moves forward to lead the Titans Women, Namibia looks to build on the foundation and momentum established during his influential tenure.
