BOSTON – (Wire Service Report) – Head coach Joe Mazzulla has signed a multi-year contract extension with the Boston Celtics.
The team announced his signing on Friday but did not reveal either the length of the deal or its monetary value.
Mazzulla, 37, has compiled a 182-64 regular-season record and a 33-17 playoff mark in three seasons with Boston. The Celtics won the NBA title in 2024.
He was the youngest head coach to win the NBA Finals since the 1968-69 season, when Bill Russell, then 35, led the Celtics to the NBA championship as a player-coach.
“He understands the job and has a passion for the Celtics that is only rivaled by our most die-hard fans,” said Brad Stevens, the team’s president of basketball operations. “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.”
