The sale of the Celtics has been finalized, with Bill Chisholm becoming the new owner. Steve Pagliuca, former co-owner, congratulated Chisholm and emphasized the importance of the franchise's success. He expressed gratitude for the support from his family and the New England fans throughout his 23-year tenure. Pagliuca previously attempted to purchase another sports franchise, showing his continued involvement in professional sports, despite stepping down from the Celtics ownership role.
"Congratulations to Bill Chisholm and the many new and current investors on the closing of the Celtics transaction today," Pagliuca said in the statement. "It is a fantastic group of leaders and they will be excellent stewards of the franchise going forward."
"As a lifelong Celtics fan and a co-owner and managing partner for the past 23 years, the Celtics' success has always been, and will continue to be, what's most important to me."
"I will also be forever grateful to all the fans in New England for their passion for the team and kindness to me and our family."
Pagliuca told the Globe in March that he would be on the lookout for opportunities with other professional sports franchises.
