Mumbai Indians search for a new head coach before finalising IPL 2027 support staff
Mumbai Indians will go into IPL 2027 with a new head coach. Mahela Jayawardene and the franchise have reportedly parted ways by mutual agreement, and a replacement is likely to be finalised in the coming week. No changes to the rest of the support staff have been reported yet.
Jayawardene was head coach from 2017 to 2022 and returned in October 2024. Mumbai Indians reached the playoffs in 2025 and finished ninth in 2026, winning four of their 14 matches. The franchise is reportedly clear on taking a different direction for the new cycle.
