Chennai Super Kings (CSK) confirmed that they have parted ways with Michael Hussey, who has been part of the franchise since the 2008 season of the Indian Premier League. The decision has come as the Super Kings have opted for a complete overhaul of their coaching staff following Zaheer Khan's appointment as their head coach, who has replaced Stephen Fleming.

Hussey was part of the CSK squad from 2008 to 2013 and once again in the 2015 campaign. In fact, he hit a century in the franchise's first-ever IPL game against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali's Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium. He played a key role in the Super Kings' 2010 IPL and 2010 IPL victory alongside the 2010 Champions League T20 triumph.

Later, he joined CSK's coaching staff in 2018 when the franchise's two-year ban ended and was part of the coaching staff from then till the end of the 2026 season. He was the batting coach of the franchise in a tenure that saw him lift three IPL titles (2018, 2021, and 2023). His only non-CSK experience in the IPL came in 2014, when he played for Mumbai Indians (MI).
