One year removed from taking home the 2024 WNBA championship, the Liberty made the surprising move to fire coach Sandy Brondello at the conclusion of the ‘25 campaign. After nearly two months, New York has chosen the coach it believes will return the franchise to a championship level: Golden State Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco.
DeMarco has agreed to a deal to lead the Liberty, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. He becomes the 10th coach in New York franchise history, replacing its most successful coach in Brondello, who went 107–53 in four years and delivered its first title. Brondello accepted the job to lead the expansion Toronto Tempo earlier this month.
