Two-Time WNBA Champion Sandy Brondello Named the First Head Coach of the Toronto Tempo
Brondello, with 107 wins and a 2024 championship, aims to build a competitive expansion team and attract top players to the WNBA's first Canadian franchise.
- On Tuesday, Sandy Brondello was named the first head coach of the Toronto Tempo, establishing her as the leader for the club's inaugural season in Toronto, Canada.
- Monica Wright Rogers said her mid-July coaching search prioritized attracting free agents and proven WNBA experience, which led to Sandy Brondello's hiring.
- Her recent tenure included a 107-53 record over four seasons with the New York Liberty and leading them to the 2024 WNBA championship before her contract was not renewed after a first-round playoff loss.
- The Tempo will begin play in 2026 and are the first WNBA franchise outside the United States, but expansion draft and free agency dates await a new collective bargaining agreement.
- Brondello said `I have great relationships with players I've recently coached or former players that I have coached, and I think that's important for me` and aims to build an entertaining, adaptable team culture.
