The Celtics announced that they have signed Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension. Per team policy, the details were not disclosed.
“This is truly a blessing,” Mazzulla said, per the Celtics. “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.”
Brad Stevens had routinely expressed that the Celtics were happy with Joe Mazzulla and wanted to keep him around in the long term.
“We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics,” Stevens said, per 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.”
Throughout Mazzulla’s three-year tenure, he’s held a 182-64 regular-season record. He’s a four-time Eastern Conference Coach of the Month recipient, and became the youngest head coach to win the NBA Finals since the 1968-69 season, when 35-year-old Bill Russell led the Celtics to the NBA championship as a player-coach.
