Andy Reid has been the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs since 2013 – winning the Super Bowl three times – and has now agreed a new long-term contract with the team
Andy Reid, the head coach of Kansas City Chiefs, has become the best-paid NFL coach after signing a new long-term contract.
The 66-year-old, who has been leading the Chiefs since 2013 following a 13-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, has guided Kansas City to three Super Bowl victories, the latest being in February against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Chiefs are now aiming for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory and have secured Reid’s services. Mark Donovan, the team’s president, and Brett Veach, the general manager, have also agreed on new long-term contracts.
According to the NFL Network, Reid’s contract will run until 2029, beyond his 70th birthday, while Veach’s deal extends till the end of the decade. It’s claimed Reid is now the best-paid coach in the NFL.
“Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” said Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt.
Reid added: “I’m incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise. Over the last 11 years, Tammy (his wife) and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home. The community has embraced us, we’ve watched our family grow, including having all 12 grandkids during our time here.
“On the field, there have been so many people that have contributed to our success and Super Bowls, and I’m grateful to the players, coaches and staff that have all invested their time into this process. I’d also like to thank my agent, Bob LaMonte. Chiefs Kingdom is a special place and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be here.”
With Patrick Mahomes leading the charge, Reid is poised to establish a lasting legacy in Kansas City. The three-time Super Bowl MVP, widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks of his era, is only 28 and expected to dominate the field for many more seasons.

Donovan noted: “It is a privilege to help lead this organization’s business operations, and I want to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for their continued support and trust in the work that we’re doing off-the-field and in the community.
“I’m thankful to have an incredibly talented staff across numerous departments that are all key pieces to the organization. I’m proud to be a part of a team that has had unprecedented success and look forward to creating and experiencing more historic moments with the Kingdom.”
As well as Mahomes, the Chiefs boast one of the most famous players in the NFL in Travis Kelce – the tight end who’s dating pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kansas City has also just signed former rugby union winger Louis Rees-Zammit as a running back.
Veach concluded: “I’d like to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for the support I’ve received these past seven seasons. I am blessed to work alongside very talented people and am proud of the work we’ve done to bring three Super Bowls to Kansas City.
“I am excited to continue my career in a city that’s embraced me and my family the way it has and look forward to more opportunities to bring more championships to Chiefs Kingdom.”
