The New York Liberty announced that coach Sandy Brondello’s contract was not being renewed on Tuesday, four days after the defending champions were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
“We would like to thank Sandy Brondello for her everlasting impact,” Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb said in a statement.
“Sandy finishes her tenure in New York as the winningest coach in franchise history, and she took us to never-before-seen heights as the first head coach to lead the Liberty to a championship. We wish Sandy the very best in her next chapter.”
The Liberty finished with a 27-17 record this season, and lost the first-round series to the Phoenix Mercury 79-73 in Game 3 on Friday. Brondello was hired to coach the Liberty in December 2021, and last year led them to a 32-8 record on their way to the WNBA championship.
