John Calipari will remain the head coach for Kentucky men's basketball.
The news was confirmed Tuesday night by Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart.
“As we normally do at the end of every season, Coach Calipari and I have had conversations about the direction of our men’s basketball program and I can confirm that he will return for his 16th season as our head coach," said Barnhart on 'X'.

Calipari's job was in question after Kentucky was eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons.
Entering his 16th season with Kentucky, Calipari has a 410-122 record including six SEC regular season and tournament titles, three trips to the Final Four and a National Championship in 2012.
The Wildcats are 1-5 in the SEC and NCAA Tournament since 2019.
