Feb 23, 2025; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan address the media after the game against the New York Rangers at PPG Paints Arena. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images The Pittsburgh Penguins and head coach Mike Sullivan agreed to part ways on Monday after 10 seasons and two Stanley Cup championships together.
Sullivan, 57, set a franchise record with 409 wins behind the bench but missed the playoffs in each of the past three seasons.
“On behalf of Fenway Sports Group and the Penguins organization, I would like to thank Mike Sullivan for his unwavering commitment and loyalty to the team and City of Pittsburgh over the past decade,” general manager Kyle Dubas said in a news release. “Mike is known for his preparation, focus and fierce competitiveness. I was fortunate to have a front-row seat to his dedication to this franchise for the past two seasons.
“He will forever be an enormous part of Penguins history, not only for the impressive back-to-back Cups, his impact on the core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Bryan Rust, but more importantly, for his love and loyalty to the organization. This was not a decision that was taken lightly, but as we continue to navigate the Penguins through this transitional period, we felt it was the best course forward for all involved.”
Sullivan was promoted from head coach at AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in December 2015 and guided the Penguins to back-to-back championships in 2015-16 and 2016-17.
He leaves Pittsburgh with a 409-255-89 record, including a 34-36-12 mark and a seventh-place finish in the Metropolitan Division in 2024-25. His Penguins were 44-38 in seven playoff appearances.
He had two years remaining on a contract extension signed in 2022.
Sullivan has 479 career wins, including two seasons as head coach of the Boston Bruins in 2003-04 and 2005-06.

El Bayern de Kompany mete miedo con un ‘perfect’ nunca antes visto: “Tarde o temprano entrenará al City”

Government urged to back bid to bring Solheim Cup to England
England Golf is urging the government for financial backing to support a bid to bring the Solheim Cup to England for the first time in 2030.The women's team contest - played every two years between Europe and the United States - has been held in Scotland three times, and in both Ireland and Wales, but never in England. A proposal has been made to host the 2030 edition at The Grove in Hertfordshire, a previous venue for a World Golf Championship event and the British Masters, although there is currently a shortfall of around £20m in the £30m required for organisers to support the application.Stakeholders put an "all-encompassing" bid for treasury backing in spring but saw the Solheim Cup not included in the list of sporting events to receive government investment, leading to a fresh push in recent months to […]

Novos valores da Serie A: Francisco Conceição em alta, Nuno Tavares sai desvalorizado
Atualização ©TM/IMAGO A primeira ronda de atualizações dos valores de mercado da temporada continua a todo o vapor aqui, no Transfermarkt, e, desta feita, é a vez de as cotações dos jogadores da Serie A serem alteradas. Este update ganha particular interesse no nosso país pelo facto de termos levado a cabo alterações nas avaliações de alguns dos jogadores portugueses que atuam em Itália.Desde logo, o valor de mercado de Francisco Conceição mereceu uma pequena valorização: o extremo luso, de 22 anos, viu a sua cotação aumentar dos 28 para os 30 milhões de euros, depois de um início de temporada no qual tem feito alguns jogos a titular na Juventus. Além disso, vale lembrar que, apesar de o jogador já estar em Turim desde a temporada passada, foi no último mercado de verão que os bianconeri o contrataram em […]
