The former New Zealand cricket captain, Stephen Fleming, is likely to take over as the coach of Chennai Super Kings from Kepler Wessels for the Champions Twenty20 League.
However Fleming won't be playing in next month's tournament.
Fleming had a disappointing IPL campaign playing for Chennai, scoring 196 runs from 10 games at a strike-rate of 118.78, failing to score a fifty. He was unavailable for the semi-final and final as well after heading back to New Zealand for the birth of his child.
He recently committed to Wellington for the domestic Twenty20 campaign in New Zealand beginning February 2009, a move which could also see him turning out for the team in the next edition of the Champions League
