As expected, the Chicago Bulls have officially fired Vinny Del Negro. The head coach was in charge of the NBA team since before the 2008-09 season, and left the team after qualifing it to the playoff for the second time in a row. His personal problems with the executive vice president of basketball operations, John Paxson, are behind this decision. The franchise will have to find another coach for next season.

Vinny Del Negro could have coached his last games with the Chicago Bulls against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The head coach, currently in his second season with the Bulls, would be replaced by the franchise this summer. The last confrontation between Del Negro and the GM John Paxson could be an imporant reason for the future departure of the coach.
