Popovich hands over Spurs coaching reins after nearly 30 years: ‘I’m El Jefe now’

Gregg Popovich has announced his intention to step down as San Antonio Spurs head coach due to ongoing health challenges following a stroke six months ago. Despite improvements in his condition, he emphasized that the time is right for change, with his health not yet meeting the standards needed moving forward. He will remain as team president and work closely with new coach Mitch Johnson as he takes on a leadership role within the organization.
