Celtics Extend Contract of Head Coach Joe Mazzulla
August 8, 2025
In a significant move for the franchise, the Boston Celtics announced a multi-year contract extension for head coach Joe Mazzulla on Friday. While specific terms of the deal remain undisclosed due to team policy, Mazzulla’s commitment aims to solidify the team’s coaching future.
The 37-year-old Rhode Island native has been at the helm since 2022, initially stepping in as interim coach before being formally appointed in 2023. Under his leadership, the Celtics clinched the NBA championship in 2024, showcasing a 16-3 record during the playoffs—a notable achievement that made him the youngest coach to win an NBA title since Bill Russell.
"I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children," Mazzulla expressed. He highlighted gratitude towards ownership, mentor Brad Stevens, and the players he has led. With a remarkable .740 regular-season winning percentage (182-64), Mazzulla emphasized his eagerness to continue competing for the Celtics and representing the city of Boston.
This contract extension underscores the Celtics’ confidence in Mazzulla’s vision and leadership as they aim for continued success in the upcoming seasons.
