The Kansas City Chiefs made it official Friday night, finalizing a deal to make Andy Reid their new head coach.
The Chiefs will introduce Reid on Monday at a 1 p.m. CT news conference.
Reid signed a five-year contract, The Associated Press reported, citing two sources familiar with the situation.
Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie -- who fired Reid on Monday after 14 seasons with the team -- wished the coach well in a statement released by the team.
"Congratulations to Clark Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs for hiring a good man and a good coach," Lurie said. "We wish Andy, Tammy and their entire family all the best in their new home."
As Gregg Rosenthal pointed out, Hunt, the Chiefs' chairman, has gone from putting all his trust in Pioli to taking the same leap of faith with Reid.
