Russell Domingo will be replacing Darren Gough as the head coach of the Lahore Qalandars ahead of the PSL 2025 as the latter announced he would be unavailable to take on the role due to ‘Unavoidable personal commitments.’
Darren Gough was initially appointed Qalandars coach for the Global Super League in Guyana last year, with the understanding he would continue in that role and take charge of the Qalandars side for the tenth edition of the PSL.
While the side finished fourth and was eliminated in the group stages, they were impressed by Gough’s tactical acumen and made clear the appointment was long-term.
However, the side understood his commitments and said, “He remains a valued part of the Qalandars family, and we sincerely wish him the very best.”
The former South Africa and Bangladesh coach will take the job as the head coach. “I am really excited to be part of the Lahore Qalandars for the 2025 PSL season.”

“I can’t wait to get to work, meet the players and get to know the management and start preparation for what promises to be an amazingly exciting campaign. We know we will have all the support from our faithful supporters and I look forward to making you all proud in the coming weeks,” said Domingo.
“We are delighted to have Russell Domingo join us as head coach for PSL 10,” Qalandars co-owner Sameen Rana said.
“Russel has vast experience at the international level that makes him an invaluable asset for the Qalandars. We believe his expertise will contribute immensely to our team’s success in PSL 10,” concluded Sameen Rana.
Lahore Qalandars will play their first match of the PSL 2025 against Islamabad United in Rawalpindi.
