Phoenix Mercury has hired their new head coach!

Phoenix Mercury has hired their new head coach! History can sometimes have switching sides how so? Well, the Mercury has hired Vanessa Nygaard. A former Las Vegas Aces assistant coach; that is the backstory. The interesting part is that the Las Vegas Aces lost to the Mercury in the WNBA Semifinals.

Talk about switching sides, Phoenix is hiring the their enemy — in a way. Sandy Brondello, whose contract ended in the 2021 season, left Phoenix to head to New York. Yep, Liberty will be getting a new head coach.

An announcement will be made on Monday between Phoenix and Nygaard.

Who is Vanessa Nygaard?

She was a head coach at Windward School, where she won three California state titles. Before Nygaard became a coach, she played in the WNBA for multiple seasons as her college level is also impressive. Going to the Final Four three times, the rest was history.
