Chicago Bears appoint Ben Johnson as new head coach
The Chicago Bears have appointed Ben Johnson as their new head coach.
Johnson, 38, has been with the Detroit Lions since 2019 and spent the past three seasons as their offensive co-ordinator.
He succeeds Matt Eberflus, who was sacked in November.
“A proven leader with winning pedigree and a mind toward innovation, we are excited to welcome Ben and his family to Chicago as our head coach,” said Bears general manager Ryan Poles.
“Throughout our search process I was thoroughly impressed by Ben’s character, intelligence, leadership and ability to connect.”
The Bears finished bottom of the NFC North this season, losing 10 consecutive matches after a promising start and ending with a 5-12 record.
“The Chicago Bears are a world-class franchise with a phenomenal history and incredible fanbase,” said Johnson.
“Having been on the opposing sideline, I can attest to how passionate Bears fans are about this city and their team, and I am honoured to be their head coach.”
