The Chicago Bulls have reached a deal to hire Tiago Splitter as their next head coach, bringing in the former Trail Blazers coach to succeed Billy Donovan.
Splitter comes to Chicago after guiding Portland to a 42-20 record, a mark that underscored his impact in his previous role. The Bulls are moving forward with a new voice on the sideline as they transition from Donovan’s tenure.
A New Direction in Chicago
The hiring gives the Bulls a fresh leadership structure as the franchise looks to reset under Splitter. His recent success with the Trail Blazers provides a clear foundation for the move, with Chicago turning to a coach who has already delivered a strong regular-season record.
Donovan’s departure opens the door for Splitter to take over a roster entering a new chapter. The agreement marks a significant step in the Bulls’ offseason planning and establishes their next head coach ahead of the coming campaign.
