Joe Mazzulla, Celtics Sign Multi-Year Extension

The Boston Celtics have signed Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension. Mazzulla first became head coach of the Celtics in 2023 following the indefinite suspension of Ime Udoka. The Celtics reached the Eastern Conference Finals in Mazzulla's first season, followed by the NBA championship in 2024.

"This is truly a blessing," said Mazzulla. "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."

"We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics," said Brad Stevens. "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."
