In an unexpected yet thrilling development for Kentucky Wildcats fans, Rick Pitino, the legendary coach who led the team to its 1996 national championship, is set to return to Lexington as an assistant head coach in January 2024.

Pitino, who enjoyed tremendous success during his first tenure with the Wildcats, is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished coaches in NCAA history. His tenure at Kentucky from 1989 to 1997 saw the team consistently competing for championships, culminating in the Wildcats’ 1996 national title. His time in Lexington established Pitino as a household name in the sport.
After leaving Kentucky, Pitino went on to coach at Louisville, where he achieved even greater success, including winning the 2013 national championship, though his tenure was marred by controversy and eventual dismissal in 2017. Since then, Pitino has continued to prove his coaching prowess, leading Iona College to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances.
