The legendary coach of the league came to an end, and Popovich announced that he would retreat behind the scenes!
According to famous reporter Shams, Spurs coach Popovich will no longer serve as Spurs head coach and will then transform into full-time as the team president. The Spurs official subsequently issued an announcement confirming the news, which marks the end of an era!
In November last year, Popovich suddenly suffered a minor stroke. After several months of recovery, it was no big deal. However, after a meal last month, his health problems occurred again. After many considerations, Popovich made the decision to retreat behind the scenes, although he really wanted to continue as head coach.
The Spurs are in a tragedy this season. First, the head coach had physical problems, and then Wenban Yama suddenly suffered a deep thrombosis in the shoulder vein, followed by Fox, who was traded in the mid-term, and injured. In this state, the Spurs finally ended the entire schedule of this season with a record of 34 wins and 48 losses.
After learning that Popovich announced that he would no longer serve as head coach, Wenbanyama posted a message to thank Popovich for his cultivation. The article said: Coach, I think I can never say all my gratitude to you. Thank you for everything you have done for basketball and for your impact on the sport and the city of San Antonio.
Thank you for your personality, your competitive spirit and your dedication. It is a supreme honor to be part of your 29-year head coaching journey. I know you will continue to inspire everyone around you in your new adventure. Love you Victor!
The Spurs boss is also grateful for Popovich's efforts: our entire Spurs family and fans all over the world are grateful for his outstanding contributions as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs over the past 29 years!
It is reported that the Spurs will hire assistant coach Mickey Johnson as the team's next head coach.
