The Toronto Tempo officially announced Sandy Brondello as the WNBA franchise's first-ever coach on Tuesday.

As one of the league's newest expansion teams, the Tempo will begin play in 2026.

The Australian native guided the New York Liberty to the 2024 WNBA title but her contract wasn't renewed after the 2025 season.

Brondello went 107-53 in four seasons with New York and earned the most wins in franchise history.

Before coming to New York, Brondello led the Phoenix Mercury to a championship in her eight seasons with that team. She was hired before the 2022 season by the Liberty after she helped the Mercury reach the WNBA Finals in 2021.
