Bergeron, who retired from professional hockey in 2023 after a distinguished 19-season career with the Bruins, has expressed a desire to spend more time with his family and rest following his retirement. In a press conference, he stated, “I don’t think it’s in the cards for now. We’ll see eventually. I have a lot of catching up to do at home and I want to take time to rest.”

Currently, Jim Montgomery serves as the head coach of the Boston Bruins, having taken over the position in 2022. Under his leadership, the Bruins have continued to perform competitively in the NHL.

While Bergeron has not ruled out the possibility of coaching in the future, stating “Never say never,” he has made it clear that he does not have the desire to coach at this time. Therefore, any reports suggesting his imminent appointment as head coach of the Boston Bruins are unfounded.
