After the team was eliminated from the WNBA playoffs on Friday, the team decided not to renew Sandy Brondello's contract. The New York Liberty announced Tuesday that head coach Sandy Brondello’s contract will not be renewed for the 2026 season. “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. She led the Phoenix Mercury to win the WNBA championship in 2014 before the Liberty's win last year. The organization said it will begin its search for the next head coach immediately.
