Steve Kerr, head coach of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, has become a shareholder of LaLiga club RCD Mallorca.

“I’m a friend of Andy Kohlberg and we were talking this summer. He told me about the change in ownership, and offered me the chance to be part of the new investment group,” Kerr said.

He added: “I’m really looking forward to it, I was in Mallorca last summer to watch a match, supporting the team and becoming a fan. It’s a very exciting opportunity.”

Kohlberg welcome Kerr

Kohlberg said of Kerr: “It’s a huge step forward. When he was here a year ago and spoke to the players, he made a big impact and I loved hearing the message about the importance of being a team and the involvement of each member, on the pitch and on the bench, in order to always be ready. The players loved it and Steve enjoyed it, too.”

Kerr joins Nash at Mallorca

Kerr joins another NBA great, two-time MVP Steve Nash, as a shareholder of Mallorca. Kerr has been coaching the USA National Team since 2021 and will do so until 2024. He has also been at the helm of NBA team Golden State Warriors since the 2014-15 season where he has coached 711 games with a record of 473 wins and 238 losses. He won four NBA titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

In his time as a player, he was also NBA champion five times: in 1996, 1997 and 1998 with Chicago Bulls, and in 1999 and 2003 with San Antonio Spurs.
