Former Orlando Magic coach Jacque Vaughn is returning to the San Antonio Spurs in a player-personnel role, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Vaughn will replace Trajan Langdon, who recently accepted a front-office job with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Vaughn was fired as the Magic’s head coach in February, finishing 58-158 in two-plus seasons of undertaking the rebuilding project.
Vaughn has a longstanding relationship with the Spurs’ organization, where he served as an assistant coach (2010-12) and played the final three seasons (2006-09) of his 12-year NBA career.
Vaughn could eventually find his way back to the bench as an assistant coach, but there are no openings for him now. The Spurs hired James Borrego as an assistant this summer. Borrego had been promoted in Orlando to interim head coach in the wake of Vaughn’s firing. Vaughn and Borrego had previously worked together with the Spurs.
