The Phoenix Suns have officially named Mike Budenholzer as their new head coach, replacing Frank Vogel who was fired after just one season. Budenholzer, who hails from Holbrook, Arizona, previously coached the Milwaukee Bucks to victory in the 2021 NBA Finals against the Suns.

The 54-year-old coach has signed a five-year deal with the Suns, reportedly worth around $50 million. Team owner Mat Ishbia expressed his excitement about bringing Budenholzer back to his home state and praised his track record of success in the NBA.

Despite never winning a championship in their 56-season history, the Suns are hopeful that Budenholzer can lead them to their first title. With a talented roster including All-Stars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, Budenholzer will be tasked with maximizing their potential and creating a winning team.

In a statement, Budenholzer expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to coach the Suns and lead them to championship contention. With previous coaching stints with the Bucks and the Atlanta Hawks, Budenholzer brings a wealth of experience and a winning mentality to the Suns.

Fans are eager to see how Budenholzer’s coaching style will impact the team and if he can guide them to their first NBA championship. The Suns will be looking to build on their success from last season and make a deep playoff run under Budenholzer’s leadership.
