Boston Celtics Signed Head Coach Joe Mazzulla To Multi-Year Contract Extension
The organization was clear in their resolution to keep him. Therefore, it came as no surprise when the news dropped. Today the Boston Celtics announced that they signed head coach Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension. However, details of the contract and its length were not provided. The 37-year old coach has completed three seasons as head coach. Prior to that he was with the team for three years as an assistant coach.
During his three year tenure at the helm, he has guided the team to the playoffs each season, including the franchise’s 18th NBA title to cap the 2023-24 season. He became the youngest head coach to win the NBA Finals since the 1968-69 season. That’s when the great Boston legend Bill Russell had done it at the age of 35 when he led the Celtics to the championship as a player-coach. A quick recap of his accomplishments were posted on social media:
- 2024 NBA Champion Youngest coach to win The Finals since Bill Russell
- Four-time Eastern Conference Coach of the Month
- 215-81 overall record (.726) Averaging over 60 wins a season
Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens said in a statement:
“We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with 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.”

Mazzulla expressed his thankfulness for the extension being done in his own statement:
“This is truly a blessing,” said Celtics Head Coach Joe 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.”
This upcoming season could prove to be a challenging one for the coach as Jayson Tatum is expected to miss most if not all of the season. Although he’ll still have Jaylen Brown, the team traded away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. They will be competitive, but all signs point to reloading for another title run in the 2026-27 season with a healthy Tatum. But in the meantime, congratulations to coach Mazzulla on the long-term contract!
