Tom Brady has appointed Pete Carroll as the head coach of Las Vegas Raiders.
The 73-year-old has signed a three-year deal with an option for a fourth season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Brady was reportedly eager to appoint former Detroit Lions head coach Ben Johnson to the role, but Johnson eventually chose to take over at the Chicago Bears instead.
Carroll has had a year out of coaching in the NFL after departing his role at the Seattle Seahawks but had been working as an advisor at the franchise.
Carroll won the 2013 Super Bowl with the Seahawks – they beat the Denver Broncos 43-8 at MetLife Stadium.
