The New Orleans Pelicans have reached an agreement to hire Jamahl Mosley as the franchise's next head coach, according to sources at ESPN. The deal is reportedly a five-year contract, securing Mosley as the long-term leader for the Pelicans' sideline.
Mosley makes the transition to New Orleans following a highly productive five-season tenure with the Orlando Magic. Under his leadership, the Magic emerged as a consistent postseason threat in the Eastern Conference, securing three consecutive playoff berths. His ability to develop young talent and implement a winning culture in Orlando made him a top candidate for the Pelicans' vacancy.
The hiring comes as the New Orleans Pelicans look to maximize their current roster and competitive window. By bringing in a coach with proven playoff experience, the organization aims to elevate its standing in the Western Conference. Further details regarding Mosley's coaching staff and the official introductory press conference are expected to be announced in the coming days.
