Russel Domingo

Russell Domingo (born August 1975) is a former Chevrolet Warriors coach, former assistant Proteas coach and Head coach to the South African Proteas Cricket side.

Playing Career
A self-confessed "very average batsman", he played a little bit of B team cricket but soon realised that he would not make a career out of being a sportsman.

Coaching Career
Russell Domingo started coaching in 1999 with age-group teams and went through all the stages from under-13 to under-19 before taking over as the Eastern Province B team as coach (the same side he played for). Domingo served as the academy coach at Eastern Province, had two stints with Hylton Ackerman at the national academy and coached the South African Under-19 side during the World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004. When Mickey Arthur became the national coach in 2005, Domingo was appointed head coach of the Warriors.

Domingo was identified early and joined a programme that made that coaching study possible. He spent time with Bob Woolmer and Graham Ford in the South Africa dressing room in the early 2000s, as an apprentice in an initiative driven by Cricket South Africa to develop Domingo as a coach.

Domingo built a fortress of admiration at the Chevrolet Warriors, most importantly from his players, through his work ethic and impeccable planning.

He gave the Warriors franchise a goal, that after three years of him taking over they would win a trophy. They achieved double that and in the 2009-10 season won both the Standard Bank Pro20 and MTN40 titles.

In June 2011 Domingo was appointed to the position of assistant coach to the Proteas National Squad.

On 1 August 2013 Domingo assumed the mantle of Head Coach of the Proteas National Squad.
