Joe Mazzulla's net worth and career earnings: How much does the new Boston Celtics head coach make?
Joe Mazzulla's net worth will drastically increase since he just became the permanent head coach of the Boston Celtics. Mazzulla has led the team to the best record in the NBA, which is why he's completely replaced Ime Udoka.
Mazzulla was first named the interim head coach during Udoka's one-year suspension. However, it doesn't appear that the former Celtics coach will return to the bench anytime soon.
Joe Mazzulla's net worth should skyrocket in 2023
Ime Udoka, the former coach of the Boston Celtics, forfeited his $4 million salary due to his suspension. While Joe Mazzulla's salary hasn't been publicly revealed, he will most likely make around $2 to $3 million.
This is not Mazzulla's first coaching gig. Before replacing Udoka, he served as an assistant coach for the Celtics for almost four years. He's also had a lot of experience coaching G League and college teams.
Considering all the jobs he's had in the past, Joe Mazzulla's net worth is estimated at around $5 million in 2023. However, we expect it to skyrocket since he was just named the permanent head coach of the Celtics.
