Gregg Popovich Steps Down as Spurs Head Coach, Mitch Johnson Takes Over

In a significant shift for the San Antonio Spurs, legendary coach Gregg Popovich has stepped down after 29 illustrious years, marking the end of the longest coaching tenure in the NBA. Popovich, the all-time winningest coach in NBA history, will transition to the front office as the president of basketball operations. This monumental change sets the stage for Mitch Johnson, previously an assistant, to take the reins as the new head coach. As Popovich retires, there is widespread reflection on his profound impact on the team and the league, while players like Victor Wembanyama express their gratitude for his leadership.
