In cricket, coach of the team is like a guardian of the players. He is also responsible to bring the best out of each individual. He is the one to take care of each and every player in the team. Coaches always play a big role in the performance of the team on the field from behind the doors.

It is mostly seen that the players often come into the spotlight due to their on or off the field controversy. In that case, the coaches have to come forward in support of their players and show them the right path. However, the chances of a coach getting indulged in controversy are always quite slim as they just remain active in the dressing room and practice arena with the players.

However, there is a long list of coaches, who attracted the controversy during their stint with the national team. So, here we are to tell you all about the top five coaches who turned out to be controversial.

Greg Chappell, the former Indian coach is rated as one of the most controversial mentors in the history of cricket. He was appointed as the head coach of Team India back in 2005 only on the firm recommendation of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/no-cricket-in-india-in-the-near-future-sourav-ganguly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sourav Ganguly</a> who was impressed with the knowledge that Chapell possessed.

The first assignment of Chappell with Team India was to travel to Sri Lanka. At that time, Sourav Ganguly was not part of the team as he was suspended by ICC for six games due to slow over-rate. So, Rahul Dravid was given the charge of the team on that tour. Soon after that, Team India was scheduled to go on a tour to Zimbabwe and Dada was back in the squad after finishing his sentence. On that tour, a series of instances turned Chappell into a villain.

Chappell asked Ganguly to step down from the captaincy followed by his statement that India should field their best XI although at the expense of Sourav Ganguly. Later on, Dada openly said in the media that he was being pressurised to leave the captaincy by the management that gave air to a controversy.

Even there was a controversial instance when Chappel&#8217;s mail to BCCI got leaked in the media in which it was clearly mentioned that Sourav Ganguly was ‘mentally and physically’ unfit to lead the team. This was followed by many other controversial incidents happened in which Chappel was linked while he was the coach of Team India. In 2007, he was finally removed from the mentorship by the BCCI.

Anil Kumble, the legendary spinner ruled in international cricket on the back of his brilliant spin bowling. He always hogged the spotlight due to his on-field performances while playing for Team India. But, his coaching career came to an end on a controversial note.

He was appointed as the coach of Team India back in 2016. And, under his mentorship, the Men in Blue won 12 out of their 17 Tests and ended up losing just one game. However, just after a year, he shockingly resigned from the post. Later on, Kumble stated that the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-official-reacts-to-cricket-australias-proposal-of-hosting-5-match-test-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BCCI</a> informed him about the fact that the captain had reservations with his style of coaching and about him continuing as the head coach.

The 49-year-old was quite furious over the behaviour of Virat Kohli due to which he had also given a statement that read,&#8221;In light of these ‘reservations’, I believe it is best I hand over this responsibility to whomever the CAC and BCCI deem fit.” The fans had never expected that Anil Kumble&#8217;s tenure as the head coach of Team India will come to an end in such fashion.

Mickey Arthur, the former Aussie coach also hit the headlines due to his &#8216;Homework Gate&#8217; controversy. Actually, in 2013, Australia went on a tour to India for playing Test series. They didn&#8217;t get off to a great start to their series and lost their first two games. Moreover, they were struggling against the Indian spinners who grabbed 34 wickets out of 40 in two games.

After the 2nd Test, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/umar-akmal-was-frustrating-to-work-with-mickey-arthur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mickey Arthur</a> gave an assignment to all the players in the squad to come up with some ideas in order to improve the performance. However, four players including Shane Watson, James Pattinson, Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Johnson failed to complete the homework given by their coach. Later on, they were axed from the next Test that was scheduled to take place in Mohali.

This step taken by the management backfired and gave air to one of the biggest controversies in the cricketing history of Australia. Soon, Mickey Arthur was sacked from the post by Cricket Australia for implementing such methods on the team.

Under his mentorship, the Men in Green did exceedingly well in ODIs and Tests. He used to back all the players in the side and never had a verbal spat or a fight with any player in the team.

Everything was going smooth before he was found dead in a room at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel on March 18, 2007. His unknown death sent a shock wave in the cricketing world. It all happened three days after the Pakistan cricket team got knockout from 2007 World Cup hosted by West Indies.

As per the reports, it was a normal death due to a mild heart attack. But later on, the police also launched an investigation in order to verify that Woolmer died of heart-attack or it was a conspiracy. In the end, it was proved as a normal death.

Stuart Law, the former West Indies coach was initially very aggressive coach due to which he attracted a controversy back in 2018 when India and West Indies were involved in a Test match. In one of the games on Day 3, Kieran Powell was caught by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ajinkya-rahane-picks-the-toughest-bowler-to-play-in-home-conditions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ajinkya Rahane</a> at the slip off Ravichandran Ashwin.

The soft signal given by the umpire was out but still, everyone was waiting for the decision of the third umpire. In the end, the TV umpire also adjudged him out and West Indies was dismissed for a score of 127 runs. As per the statement of ICC, Stuart Law went to the third umpire&#8217;s room after the incident and said something that was not acceptable.

He was then found guilty for breaching code of conduct and Law was suspended by ICC for two ODIs. And, he had to miss the first two games of the ODI series against Team India. Moreover, he was also fined with his 100 per cent match fee for his poor behaviour as a coach of a national team.

5 Coaches who turned out to be controversial

There is a long list of cricket coaches who attracted controversies during their stint with the national team and were eventually sacked from the job.
