The Brooklyn Nets have named their new head coach. Jordi Fernandez will take over from Kevin Ollie, who took over on an interim basis after Jacque Vaughn was sacked during the All-Star Game.
Fernandez, the assistant head coach of the Sacramento Kings, was selected at the end of a month-long search in which Nets general manager Sean Marks evaluated numerous candidates.
Fernandez, 41, brings a wealth of experience to the job, having worked under Michael Malone in Denver and as part of Mike Brown’s staff with the Kings, where he helped turn the team around.
His recent experience coaching the Canadian national team to a medal at the 2023 FIBA World Championships has further enhanced his reputation.
