Richard Pybus, West Indies' high performance director, has agreed to take up the role of head coach full-time, replacing the interim coach Nic Pothas. Pybus' contract, ESPNcricinfo understands, will effectively run until the 2019 Test series against India, which follows the ODI World Cup in England.
The position of West Indies head coach had been vacant since Stuart Law resigned from the position less than two years into his job. He left West Indies to take up a four-year contract with the English county team Middlesex. Originally the fielding coach, Pothas was made interim head coach for the recent tour of Bangladesh that followed Law's exit. West Indies lost Test and ODI series 2-0 and 2-1 respectively, and won the T20Is 2-1.
Pybus took over as high performance director in February, his role requiring him to work alongside selectors and coaches across all levels of the game in the Caribbean. He had previously served as West Indies' director of cricket from 2013 to the end of 2016, when he chose not to renew his contract.
Pybus' return to West Indies cricket wasn't welcomed by everyone. The former West Indies opener Desmond Haynes questioned the process of appointing him - "It would be great to ask the [CWI] president [Dave Cameron] about this appointment and when was this position advertised," he wrote in a Facebook post.

If it came down to coaching only Dessie would have gotten the job. There is a bigger picture to the appointment of Pybus. Dessie knows that so it is baffling as to why he is complaining.

Oh boy. Tricky Dick is back to finish the job he almost completed before--the destruction of WI cricket. This backstabbing know-it-all blowhard who cannot even get a job in the England setup will return us to the promise land 
Well at least he has the skin color that West Indians like ....

This shows the stupidity of CWI management and the Board.
Have a prosperous, Healthy and happy new year 2019.

Not really.
There is a little bit of common sense behind this appointment.
We have a WI selector with a Level III coaching certificate. Why did he not get the job? Why do we have to recycle this washed up failure who has a terrible relationship with our players?

Oh really?
I am trying to see where common sense lives in any of the above characters.

Why would you reach such a conclusion Chrissy?
Thought you had a little more faith in Jimmy.
