Bangladesh newly appointed head coach Russell Domingo arrived at Dhaka on Tuesday to take over the rein in the Tigers dressing room.
Domingo, a former coach of South Africa, has been appointed on a two-year contract and will begin his stint with the Tigers on Aug 21.
He was part of a three-man shortlist, which included Mike Hesson and Mickey Arthur, and had been interviewed by the BCB on Aug 7.
After impressing the board with his presentation, Domingo will take over from Khaled Mahmud, who was named the team's interim coach for the recent tour of Sri Lanka following the departure of Steve Rhodes after a disappointing World Cup 2019 campaign.
He will also work with the Bangladesh 'A', high performance and under-19 teams from time to time, said Nazmul.
With the appointment of Domingo, almost all the coaching roles in the Bangladesh set-up are occupied by South Africans.
BCB had renewed the contracts of batting coach Neil Mckenzie and fielding coach Ryan Cook after the 2019 World Cup while former Proteas paceman Charl Langeveldt was recently appointed as the bowling coach.
Both McKenzie and Langeveldt were part of South Africa's support staff during Domingo's tenure as head coach of South Africa from 2013 to 2017.
Earlier in the morning Langevelt arrived at Dhaka and the two South African is expected to start their campaign with the national cricketers from tomorrow.
