The Boston Celtics signed head coach Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced Friday.
"We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics," Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens 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."
Mazzulla took over for Ime Udoka in September 2022 on an interim basis after the latter was suspended for the entire campaign for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a Celtics female employee.
Mazzulla was named the team's permanent head coach in February 2023 after guiding the Celtics to an NBA-leading 42-17 mark at the All-Star break.
The 37-year-old led the Celtics to their record-breaking 18th NBA title during the 2023-24 campaign. He holds a 182-64 record over three seasons at the helm and has posted back-to-back 60-win campaigns.
"This is truly a blessing," Mazzulla said in a statement. "I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children. We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad (Stevens') 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."
