Brondello Returns to New York

Sandy Brondello returns to New York as head coach of the expansion Toronto Tempo, marking her first game in the city since leaving the Liberty after a championship run. With a stellar 123-64 record in four seasons with New York, she’s now embracing a fresh start with Toronto, who’s off to a 5-4 start. Brondello’s journey includes leading Phoenix to a title before her departure in 2021 — another team she’s now coaching against. Former Liberty stars like Breanna Stewart and Nyara Sabally, both part of that championship squad, are rallying behind her, with Stewart crediting Brondello for her legacy in New York and Sabally sharing warm memories of the city and even a reunion with her sister Satou, who plays for the Liberty. Brondello’s husband, Olaf Lange, also joins her on the Toronto staff. As the first WNBA team outside the U.S., Toronto is making waves — and Brondello is focused on building something special from the ground up.
