Breaking News: San Francisco 49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan Signs 6-Year Contract Extension
June 1, 2025 | San Francisco, CA — In a major development for the NFL and the San Francisco 49ers franchise, head coach Kyle Shanahan has officially signed a new six-year contract extension, solidifying his role with the team through the 2030 season.
The announcement was made early Monday morning by 49ers CEO Jed York, who praised Shanahan’s leadership, strategic vision, and continued success with the team. “Kyle is one of the premier coaches in the National Football League,” said York. “His leadership has been instrumental in building a culture of consistency and competitiveness in San Francisco. We’re thrilled to have him lead the 49ers for many more years to come.”
Shanahan, 45, has been the head coach of the 49ers since 2017 and has led the team to three NFC Championship Games and two Super Bowl appearances during his tenure. Known for his offensive creativity and ability to develop young talent, Shanahan has become one of the most respected minds in the game. His overall regular-season record with the team stands at 64-51, with a 7-4 record in the postseason.
“I’m incredibly grateful to the York family and the entire 49ers organization,” said Shanahan in a press statement. “This team and this city mean everything to me and my family. We’re not just building a football team — we’re building a legacy. I’m excited for the challenges ahead and confident in the direction we’re going.”
The contract extension comes at a crucial time for the 49ers, who are entering the 2025 season with one of the most talented rosters in the league. Quarterback Brock Purdy continues to mature under Shanahan’s guidance, while key players like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and Nick Bosa remain central to the team’s championship aspirations.
Analysts see the deal as a major stabilizing move, especially in an era where coaching turnover is frequent. Shanahan’s long-term commitment provides continuity and confidence not only for players but also for fans and stakeholders.
Details of the contract have not been fully disclosed, but league insiders estimate it could be worth more than $80 million, placing Shanahan among the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.
With this extension, the 49ers are clearly signaling that they are all-in on the Shanahan era — and Super Bowl expectations remain firmly in place.
