Gregg Popovich is stepping down as the coach of the San Antonio Spurs and will become the NBA franchise’s president of basketball operations.

ESPN, citing sources, was the first to report the news.

“While my love and passion for the game remain, I’ve decided it’s time to step away as head coach,” Popovich said, per The Associated Press.

The move ends a Hall of Fame coaching career that spanned over three decade and resulted in five NBA championships. Popovich leaves as the league’s all-time wins leader.

Popovich, 76, missed all but five games this season after having a stroke at the team’s arena on Nov. 2.

“I’m forever grateful to the wonderful players, coaches, staff and fans who allowed me to serve them as the Spurs head coach and am excited for the opportunity to continue to support the organization, community and city that are so meaningful to me,” Popovich said.

Popovich’s career ends with a record of 1,422-869, which does include the 77 games — 32 wins and 45 losses — that were coached by Spurs assistant Mitch Johnson this season. He also won 170 playoff games with the Spurs, the most by any coach with any one team and the third-most overall behind only Phil Jackson’s 229 and Pat Riley’s 171.
