(CNN) — The Golden State Warriors have made Steve Kerr the highest-annually paid NBA coach in history. The Warriors and Kerr have agreed to a record two-year, $35 million contract extension on Friday, Kerr’s representative Zach Rosen of Priority Sports confirmed to CNN on Saturday. Although San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich makes more per year, according to ESPN, Popovich also serves as president of the franchise. The 58-year-old is in his tenth season with the franchise where he has compiled a 502-264 regular season record, 99-41 in the post season. The 2015-16 Coach of the Year winner has led Golden State to six Western Conference titles and the league’s regular season record for wins in one season (73).
