Popovich has been coaching San Antonio since 1996, and won five NBA titles during his stint guiding the Spurs.
It’s going to take some time for the San Antonio Spurs to move on from Gregg Popovich as their head coach, especially given all the tremendous success the NBA team has had with the 76 year old leading the way.
Popovich is getting ready for a new position with the Spurs and isn’t quitting the team, despite his current health issues. Popovich is referring to this one as “El Jefe.”
New head coach Mitch Johnson comes from the Popovich coaching tree, so San Antonio certainly has confidence in the 38 year old’s ability leading into next season, especially with Victor Wembanyama leading the way and the team likely holding a high draft pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
