Congratulations are in order for Gloria Govan’s boo, Derek Fisher. The retired NBA player just picked up a new gig and it’s super close to home. The Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA have hired Derek Fisher as head coach, the team announced Wednesday according to ESPN.

“I’m excited to be the new head coach of the LA Sparks,” Fisher said in a statement. “There is no finer organization in the WNBA and I can’t wait to work with our ownership group, front office, talented players and staff to cement a culture of sustained excellence, which is what LA basketball fans demand — and deserve.”

Gloria is also EXCITED. She congratulated her man in a public Instagram message, saying “Aye! You see em callin. Congratulations mi amour. Doing what you love to do. LA Sparks new coach. They’re lucky to have you, just like we are. Let’s bring another (trophy) to LA.”

How sweet! This is good news for Gloria who has been having a tough time securing custody of her twin boys with Matt Barnes in a recent court battle. Recently, Matt was given sole custody of the children and asked the judge to lower her child support payments significantly.
