联盟消息人士周二证实，马刺队已与新任主教练约翰逊签订了一份多年的合同。
周一，在球队训练设施举行的新闻发布会上，约翰逊作为球队历史上第19位主教练，以及格雷格·波波维奇的继任者正式亮相。
合同条款未予披露。HoopsHype.com引用约翰逊的经纪人，来自Klutch Sports的安迪·米勒提供的信息，率先报道了这份新合同。
在上个赛季，波波维奇在赛季开始后的五场比赛中突发轻度中风后，约翰逊担任了代理主教练。马刺队上周五宣布波波维奇退休，并由38岁的约翰逊接替他的位置。
76岁的波波维奇将继续担任俱乐部篮球运营总裁。
上赛季马刺队以34胜48负的战绩结束，其中包括在约翰逊的带领下取得的32胜45负的战绩。自2019年以来，约翰逊一直担任波波维奇的助理教练。
“约翰逊秉持我们的价值观，并追求卓越，”马刺队执行合伙人彼得·J·霍尔特在周一的新闻发布会上说。“他拥有极大的谦逊和令人难以置信的意志。我们很高兴他能领导我们，并与我们一起成长……我们对未来感到非常兴奋。”

The Spurs have signed new head coach Mitch Johnson to a multi-year deal, a league source confirmed Tuesday.
Johnson was introduced as the 19th head coach in franchise history – and Gregg Popovich’s successor – at a news conference Monday at the team’s practice facility.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Citing information provided by Johnson’s agent, Andy Miller of Klutch Sports, HoopsHype.com was the first to report the new contract.
Johnson spent last season as acting head coach after Popovich suffered a mild stroke five games into the campaign. The Spurs announced Popovich’s retirement from coaching last Friday and that Johnson, 38, would replace him.
Popovich, 76, will continue to serve as the club’s president of basketball operations.
The Spurs finished last season with a 34-48 record, including going 32-45 under Johnson, who has been an assistant under Popovich since 2019.
“Mitch Johnson lives our values and strives for excellence,” Spurs managing partner Peter J. Holt said at Monday’s news conference. “He possesses immense humility and an incredible will. We are thrilled to have him to lead us and to grow with us together. … We are wildly excited about the future.”
