Promotion-winning Leicestershire head coach Alfonso Thomas has signed new deal to remain with the County Championship side until the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old South African’s assistant coach James Taylor has agreed a similar extension just months after the two combined to lead the Foxes back to the top-flight of the English game as Division Two title-winners.<\/p>\n
The pair had initially worked together as interim head coaches in 2023, when promoted together to replace Paul Nixon.<\/p>\n
They went on to guide Leicestershire to the One-Day Cup title that same year, with Thomas going on to be confirmed as permanent head coach at the end of that campaign in a deal that kept former England batter and selector Taylor by his side.<\/p>\n
“When James and I first stepped into these roles, we spoke about building something the supporters could be proud of – not just in terms of results but in the way the team represents the club every single day,” Thomas told the club website, external<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We’ve made some fantastic progress together but there’s still a huge amount we want to achieve.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Promotion-winning Leicestershire head coach Alfonso Thomas has signed new deal to remain with the County Championship side until…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-670470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
