Leicester Riders can confirm the departure of Krumesh Patel as head coach. 

Last season, Patel led the team to three finals for the first time in their history and third place in the WBBL Championship with a 17-5 record. 

He also led Loughborough University women to the BUCS championship. 

“It’s been a great year at Riders, and really nice to return to where I started,” said Patel. “I’d like to thank all the staff and players for everything this year!”

“To have a historic season is a credit to them and something I will never forget. Unfortunately, it’s time to move on, but I wish the programme all the best moving forward.”

The club wishes Krumesh well in his future endeavours.
