(CNN) — Legendary head coach Bill Belichick confirmed on Thursday that he is leaving the New England Patriots after 24 seasons, during which the franchise won six Super Bowl titles.
Standing next to Patriots owner Robert Kraft at a media conference, Belichick said the two of them had “mutually agreed” to part ways when they met following the conclusion of the 2023 season.
Kraft stressed that he and Belichick had split “amicably.”
“For me this is a day of gratitude and celebration,” said Belichick, who thanked for the Patriots’ organization for the support it had provided him over his stint with the team.
