New York Liberty Head Coach Sandy Brondello Reveals Reason Behind Her Departure
In her first public comments since being let go as the head coach of the New York Liberty, Sandy Brondello has explained why she was ousted from her role. According to Brondello, the team's alignment with its front office was not a good fit for her. This lack of alignment led to what Brondello described as a "leadership decision" and ultimately resulted in her departure.
Brondello revealed that she realized it was time for her to move on from the Liberty, citing the need for new challenges and a fresh voice to help the team improve. The coach expressed that when players and coaches are not aligned with the team's goals, it can lead to mistakes and a decline in performance.
Brondello, who led the Liberty to their first WNBA championship in 2024, acknowledged that she was not perfect as a coach and made some mistakes during her tenure. However, she emphasized that winning a championship together was what mattered most to her and the players.
The news of Brondello's departure has left the Liberty searching for a new head coach. The team is currently exploring various candidates, including Kristi Toliver, Will Weaver, and Joseph Blair.

I'm kinda sad to see Coach Sandy go 
she was amazing on the court 
and brought that championship title to NY in 2024 
now the team gotta find a new leader 
who's gonna bring that same fire 
and chemistry to the floor 
️ gotta hope they pick someone who understands the game 
like Coach Brondello did 
wish her all the best on this new adventure 
I'm really gonna miss Sandy Brondello on the NY Liberty. She was an awesome coach and brought so much heart to the team 
. I feel for her though, sometimes things just don't work out even when you're doing your best. Alignment with the front office can be tough, especially in a sports team where everyone's got their own vision 
. But hey, it sounds like she's moving on to greener pastures and who knows, maybe she'll get another chance at a championship title 
! I hope Kristi Toliver and whoever else they're looking at can bring the same level of passion and dedication to the team 
. If I had to guess, she was just getting too comfortable and it was time for someone else to shake things up. And let's be real, the team's front office is probably still trying to figure out what they're doing after that championship win last year... it's like they thought winning a title would solve all their problems 
. I mean, Sandy Brondello made some mistakes, but at least she had the decency to admit it and move on. The Liberty needs someone who can bring in some new blood and fresh ideas, not just more of the same old thing 
. And yeah, it's no secret they're already looking for a replacement... it's just a matter of time before they find someone who'll fit their style 
.
I get it, you lead a team to a championship in 2024, you must've wanted more. But didn't you guys have a good run together? It's weird that she's not taking any blame for her mistakes as coach... like she's just shifting the focus to the front office? 
she actually said it out loud! Alignment issues can be super tricky in sports, but Sandy knew what was best for her career 
I feel bad for the Liberty tho, they're gonna miss her leadership skills 
but on the bright side, a new coach could bring some fresh energy to the team 
maybe they need a fresh perspective on the team now? 
! She was literally the best thing that ever happened to the team, and now they're gonna find another coach who might not be as cool 
Fingers crossed for that! 
. maybe the Liberty will find a coach who's just right for them 
, but Brondello's decision shows that sometimes we gotta be brave enough to walk away and try something new 
. I think it's awesome she's movin on 2 find a new voice 2 help the team improve 
. Hope she finds a coachin gig that's a perfect fit 4 her & her skills 
and I hope the Liberty find someone who aligns with their goals, it's gotta be tough for them right now
