The WNBA Finals are here, and when the New York Liberty take the floor, head coach Sandy Brondello will lead the team.

Brondello has been with the organization since 2022 and completed previous coaching stints with the Phoenix Mercury, Los Angeles Sparks and the San Antonio Silver Stars (now Las Vegas Aces.) During her time as head coach of the Mercury, Brondello won a WNBA championship and was also Coach of the Year.
