Alabama coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in isolation at home, the university announced Wednesday.
Saban, 68, is not experiencing any symptoms of the coronavirus, he said in a statement.
"I found out earlier this afternoon that I had tested positive for COVID-19. I immediately left work and isolated at home," Saban said, adding that Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian "will oversee preparations at the complex while I work from home."
Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne also tested positive, the university said.
According to a statement attributed to Dr. Jimmy Robinson, the head physician for Alabama athletics, and Jeff Allen, the director of sports medicine, Saban and Byrne are only two athletics department staffers to test positive for COVID-19.
