Having led the Boston Celtics to the most wins in the regular season over the past three seasons and an NBA title during the 2023-24 campaign, head coach Joe Mazzulla has received a new contract from the club.
The Celtics announced on Friday they have signed Mazzulla to a multiyear extension.
“This is truly a blessing,” Mazzulla said in a statement announcing the deal. “I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children. We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad’s mentorship, and the support of our staff. Most importantly, I am grateful for the players I have been able to coach the past three seasons. I look forward to competing for the Celtics and the city of Boston.”
Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens also included a statement about extending the club’s partnership with Mazzulla:
“We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics. He understands the job and has a passion for the Celtics that is only rivaled by our most die-hard fans. He’s worked hard and accomplished amazing things in his first three years as a head coach – including averaging over 60 wins per season and winning the 2024 NBA Championship. Joe is a gifted leader who brings a consistent commitment to learning, improving, and maximizing each day we get to compete for the Boston Celtics.”
