Gregg Popovich, who presided over one of the most successful eras in NBA history as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is stepping down from that role after 29 seasons. The NBA’s all-time leader in coaching wins (1,422), will transition to the role of president of basketball operations.
“While my love and passion for the game remain, I’ve decided it’s time to step away as head coach,” said Popovich. “I’m forever grateful to the wonderful players, coaches, staff and fans who allowed me to serve them as the Spurs head coach and am excited for the opportunity to continue to support the organization, community and city that are so meaningful to me.”
