A season after her team won the WNBA title, the New York Liberty have fired head coach Sandy Brondello. The Liberty, who finished 27-17 in the regular season and were the No. 5 seed in the postseason, lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Phoenix Mercury. After eight years a Mercury coach, in which she led the team to a championship, Brondello was hired by the Liberty ahead of the 2022 WNBA season. The Liberty had two straight 32-8 seasons in 2023 and 2024, winning the title last season over the Minnesota Lynx. “We would like to thank Sandy Brondello for her everlasting impact on the New York Liberty,” Liberty coach 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.” More on Brondello's firing at the link in usatodaysports bio. #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty ...
