The end of a legendary era: Gregg Popovich stops being coach of the Spurs
Shams Charania confirms that the coaching legend will not continue at the helm of San Antonio next season
The end of one of the most beautiful stories gifted to us by the NBA has arrived: the relationship between Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs. The legendary coach of the Texas franchise will no longer lead the team with which he has won 5 championship rings.
This has been confirmed by Shams Charania, an NBA insider star. Popovich is putting an end to his tenure as coach of the Spurs, a journey that began in 1996, already 29 years ago. Although this past season, he could barely coach the team due to a stroke he suffered in November.
Popovich was the maestro behind one of the most mythical dynasties of all time. The rings from 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014 will forever remain in the memory and heart of all San Antonio Spurs fans.
Despite his retirement, Popovich will continue to work within the Spurs. His new role is that of President of Basketball and a crucial member in the operations of the front office. At 76 years old, Gregg Popovich still has a lot of fuel left to contribute to his beloved San Antonio.
