Boston Celtics fans will get to meet their new head coach Monday.
The Celtics officially announced Ime Udoka as the 18th head coach in franchise history Monday morning. He’ll take over for Brad Stevens, who is now president of basketball operations after eight seasons as head coach.
“Among the many outstanding qualities that Ime brings to the table are his character, humility, and competitiveness,” Stevens said in a statement Monday. “He has a relentless work ethic and a vast array of experiences as a player and coach. He’s a leader that is warm and demanding, and we are so excited that he has chosen to join us in pursuit of Banner 18.”
