Dwane Casey has stepped down as Detroit Pistons head coach and will take up a new front office role.
Casey announced after the Pistons' final game of the season on Sunday, which ended in a 103-81 defeat to the Chicago Bulls, that he would not be staying on as head coach.
Detroit ended the season with the worst record in the NBA of 17-65.
Casey will remain with the franchise, but there will be a new head coach next season.
"This is my last game," Casey said. "I'm moving to the front office.
"I'm excited to go to the next phase of my life. Time to spend more time with my family. This team is on the right track. They probably need to hear a new voice. This is my decision.”
Milwaukee Bucks assistant Charles Lee and former Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka are reportedly expected to be among the candidates to replace the 65-year-old.
Casey took over as Pistons head coach in 2018 and ends his tenure with a record of 128-262.
