Ex-Bulls coach Billy Donovan wasted no time putting his house up for sale

April 24, 2026 - 19:45

Just two days after declining a contract extension with the Chicago Bulls, former head coach Billy Donovan has wasted no time in cutting ties with the Windy City. The veteran coach has officially listed his Fremont Street residence for sale at a price of $4.5 million.

Donovan, who spent six seasons at the helm of the Bulls, made the decision to part ways with the organization after negotiations for a new deal fell through. The swift listing of his home signals a decisive move away from Chicago, as the 58-year-old coach appears ready to explore new opportunities or take a step back from the sidelines.

The property, located in a desirable neighborhood, is now on the open market. Real estate sources indicate that the home features modern amenities and spacious living areas, though specific details about the interior have not been widely disclosed. The $4.5 million asking price reflects the high-end nature of the Chicago real estate market.

Donovan’s tenure with the Bulls was marked by a mix of playoff appearances and rebuilding phases, but the team failed to advance deep into the postseason during his leadership. His departure, combined with the immediate sale of his home, suggests a clean break from the franchise as both sides look toward the future. The Bulls have not yet announced a replacement for Donovan, while the coach himself has not commented on his next steps.
