Sep 11 (Field Level Media) – San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan had been under ​contract through the 2027 season, ‌but according to multiple media reports Friday, he was given a multiyear extension.

The Ringer reported Friday that the team signed Shanahan, 46, to ‌an ​extension during the offseason. ⁠Terms of the ⁠contract are not yet known.

In his 10th season at the helm, Shanahan is 83-67 in the regular season, guiding ​the 49ers to six postseason appearances and two Super Bowls — both losses ⁠to the Kansas City ⁠Chiefs — after the 2019 and ​2023 campaigns. He has also led the ​team to five seasons of 10 or ‌more wins.

Hired in 2017 following two seasons as the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive coordinator, Shanahan has 92 overall wins (regular season ⁠plus postseason), 10 shy of Bill Walsh and 16 shy of George Seifert’s all-time franchise record.

Following ⁠a ‌July 14 car crash in ⁠which he suffered a concussion ​and ‌other injuries, Shanahan recovered in ​time to ⁠coach the team in training camp and the preseason.

On Thursday in Melbourne, Australia, the 49ers opened their season with a 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
