The Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has revealed his intention to continue coaching the team going into the 2023 season. “If they’ll have me, I’ll stick around,” he confirmed after his side lifted the Super Bowl LVII trophy, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.

Since arriving at the team, Reid has led the team to three Super Bowls in four years, winning Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers before losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the next season.

According to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Reid’s decision regarding his future is not a difficult one to make. “He’s done so many great things for so long. But I can tell by how much he enjoys this that that’s not anywhere in the near future.” He furthermore stated that the 64-year-old Reid has “every right to retire”.

The 14th coach in NFL history to win at least two Super Bowls, Reid has ignited a golden era with the Chiefs. Now, Kansas City is listed as the favorite to win next year’s Super Bowl as well. Should the team achieve this feat, then Reid would become just the fourth head coach to win three Super Bowls.
