Chicago Bears defensive backs coach Ed Donatell is joining the Denver Broncos as their new defensive coordinator, per Mike Klis of 9News.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports confirmed the report.
Donatell reunites with Vic Fangio, who was the Bears' defensive coordinator from 2015 to 2018. The two also worked together in San Francisco from 2011 to 2014 on Jim Harbaugh's staff, with each coach assuming the same roles they filled in Chicago.
The 61-year-old Donatell started his career as a graduate assistant in 1979 at Kent State, and he jumped to the NFL in 1990 when he was named the New York Jets' defensive backs coach.
