Connecticut women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma has signed a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the Huskies through the 2028-29 season, the school announced Tuesday.

The extension is valued at $18.7 million (average annual value of $3.74 million), according to the university, and it also includes performance-based incentives that could increase the value of the contract. His previous contract was set to expire in April 2025.

Auriemma is set to make $3.34 million in 2024-25, making him the highest-paid women’s college basketball coach ahead of LSU’s Kim Mulkey ($3.25 million) and South Carolina’s Dawn Staley ($3.2 million).

The new contract seemingly puts an end to any speculation Auriemma would retire in the near future. In February, after he won his 1,200th game as a head coach, the 70-year-old suggested his coaching career could be coming to a close and he wouldn’t add hundreds of more wins, but “more along the line of single digits.”

With this new contract, Auriemma certainly has a chance to get at least 100 more wins.

“I still find it hard to believe that I’ve been at UConn for over half my life,” Auriemma said in a statement. “I feel like there’s so much more that can be done, and will be done, and I’m excited to be the one to do it with my staff and my team. I’m probably as excited about these next few years as I’ve ever been over the last 40.”
