Del Negro appointed head coach of Clippers
After being released by the Chicago Bulls in May, Vinny Del Negro is back in management after agreeing terms in principle with the LA Clippers.
The Clippers announced on Tuesday they have agreed to a deal and will announce more details on Wednesday.
Del Negro coached the Bulls for two years going 82-82 in that time, and making the postseason twice.
The Clippers were looking for a coach after Mike Dunleavy stepped down in February. They went 29-53 last season and went 8-33 on the road, their worst road record for 10 years.
Del Negro beat out opposition from Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey, whom he also beat for the Chicago job two years ago.
Terms of the deal will be released later today.
