Boston will have to search for a new head coach now that Brad Stevens is reportedly moving to a front-office role with the Celtics.
The Celtics' brain trust will look far different in 2021-22 as Brad Stevens will move to a full-time role in the team's front office, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Celtics president Danny Ainge is planning to resign from his role, with Stevens replacing him, according to Wojnarowski. Boston is now searching for a new head coach.
Ainge, 62, has served as a Boston executive since 2003. He previously worked as the team's president of basketball operations, helping deliver the 2008 championship with the acquisitions of Ray Allen and Kevin Durant. Ainge is not expected to retire, and he could join the Utah Jazz front office in some capacity, Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reports.
Stevens has been Boston's head coach since 2013, logging seven straight playoff appearances with the franchise. It was a tumultuous 2020-21 season for Boston after a conference finals berth last year, as the Celtics finished 36–36 before losing to the Nets in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Lakers assistant Jason Kidd and former Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce are among the lead candidates Boston's coaching search, per Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes. The new Celtics coach will be the franchise's third since 2004.
