As he now gets settled back into his surroundings, Miami’s coach is relaxing in his mansion near Coral Gables that is fitting for one of the most prominent figures in the region.

According to Front Office Sports, it’s an 8,800-square-foot estate that puts Cristobal and his family in the same neighborhood as Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. Cristobal’s mansion comes with a gym, a courtyard, eight bathrooms and a luxurious pool.
