Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has signed a multi-year contract extension with the team he guided to an NBA title in 2024, the club announced on Friday.
Terms of the deal were not revealed but the move extends the 37-year-old American's stay with the club after serving as an assistant coach from 2019 through 2022.
He became the head coach in September 2022 when Ime Udoka was suspended for violating team policy just days before the start of training camp for the 2022-23 campaign.
"This is truly a blessing," Mazzulla said in a statement. "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 Celtics went 57-25 in Mazzulla's first season but lost to Miami in the Eastern Conference fi
