Joe Mazzulla is sticking around Causeway Street for the foreseeable future.
The Celtics announced Friday that they had signed the NBA championship-winning head coach to a multi-year contract extension.
In a team-released statement, Mazzulla said the extension is “truly a blessing.”
“I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children,” he said. “We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad (Stevens)’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.”
The 37-year-old Mazzulla, who was elevated from his previous role as a Celtics assistant just before the 2022-23 season, owns a career head-coaching record of 182-64, winning at least 57 games in each of his first three seasons as Boston’s bench boss. He steered a loaded Celtics roster to an NBA title in 2024, then went 61-21 this past season before being upset by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
“We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics,” Stevens, Boston’s president of basketball operations, said in a statement. “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.”
