Due to his wife, The coach of the 49ers has officially announced his retirement

Kyle Shanahan has guided the San Francisco 49ers to the top seed in the NFC playoffs during his third season as head coach. Mandy Shanahan, Shanahan’s wife of 15 years, will be watching their teammate play in Super Bowl 54 on February 1 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, after the 49ers defeat the Minnesota Vikings.

Watching her husband coach in prime time has brought Mandy extreme highs and lows since they first started dating in high school. Only three years have passed since Shanahan last led a team to the Super Bowl, and that game ended tragically.

On February 5, 2017, during Super Bowl LI, Shanahan was the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons when they played the New England Patriots. After letting Brady and the Patriots run all over them in the second half, the Falcons somehow blew a 25-point lead and lost in overtime.

Mandy, who married Shanahan in 2005 and has three children with him, revealed to the San Francisco Chronicle two weeks after that unexpected loss that the entire family was affected by the fallout. She remarked, “In a good way, Kyle has been one of the most sensitive people I’ve ever been around.” “He has such a keen sense of people’s feelings and emotions.”

Shanahan said at a press conference that he is a devoted 49ers fan and that he understands exactly what it’s like. Even as a young child, he talked about the intense nature of being a devoted fan. For “a month and ten days,” his father Mike Shanahan, who was coaching the 49ers, wore the same Deion Sanders jersey in the hopes that it would bring good fortune to the team.

Shanahan declared, “I was dedicated.” “I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish my schoolwork that month because I needed to get a good night’s sleep for the games and other obligations.” At the time, I was completely engrossed in the Niners and the playoffs. It seems like it was yesterday, and it’s amusing to see my wife acting in that manner at the moment. Although they aren’t quite as old as I am, my kids are getting there.
