Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid dismissed the idea he might retire after winning his third Super Bowl on Sunday.

Reid was an assistant coach for the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI and has now twice celebrated success while in the top job in Kansas City.

His latest triumph, in Super Bowl LVII, came against the Philadelphia Eagles, a franchise he coached for 13 years.

Between his stints with the Eagles and the Chiefs, Reid has been a head coach for 24 years.

Now 64, he was asked during the Chiefs' Super Bowl celebrations if he might be ready to quit the sport, but his focus was on the party that lay ahead.

"No, I'm going to enjoy this one right here," Reid replied. "Let me tell you, this is unbelievable.

"Philadelphia, you did a great job, it was a great game. But how about those Chiefs?"

Reid had been introduced on the podium by Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt as "one of the best coaches in the history of the National Football League".

"We couldn't have done it without [him]," Hunt said, although Reid was keen to share the praise around.

In his FOX Sports interview, Reid said of the Chiefs' second-half rally in a 38-35 victory: "I'll give the credit to the big O-line and Pat Mahomes and all those guys around him. [Offensive coordinator] Eric Bieniemy was phenomenal also."

Of Mahomes, who has been playing with a high ankle sprain, Reid added: "He's the MVP. That's all that needs to be said, right? He's the MVP, and you saw it tonight."
