BREAKING NEWS: Few minutes ago Hornets Current Head Coach James Borrego Take His Decision and Announces His Retirement From….

In a surprising and heartfelt announcement just minutes ago, James Borrego, the current head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, has declared his decision to retire from coaching.

Borrego, who has been at the helm of the Hornets since 2018, took to a press conference earlier today to share the news, citing personal reasons and a desire to focus on his family and future beyond basketball. His tenure with the Hornets saw the team through multiple seasons of growth, with Borrego playing a key role in developing young talent and steering the franchise toward competitiveness in the NBA.

“I have given this a lot of thought,” Borrego said. “Coaching in the NBA has been a tremendous journey for me, but now it’s time to step away and explore new chapters in my life. I want to thank the Hornets organization, the players, and the incredible fans for their support over the years.”

Borrego’s departure marks the end of an era for Charlotte basketball, and speculation is already swirling about who will take over as head coach. The Hornets have not yet announced an interim coach or a search timeline for Borrego’s successor.

Throughout his career, Borrego was known for his strategic mind, player development skills, and calm demeanor on the sidelines. His retirement leaves a notable void in the Hornets’ coaching staff and the broader NBA coaching community.
