Nets Extend Fernandez and Staff to Multiyear Deals

The Brooklyn Nets announced on Monday that they have signed head coach Jordi Fernandez and his entire coaching staff to multiyear contract extensions, signaling a commitment to stability amid the team's ongoing rebuild.

Fernandez, a native of Spain in his second season as an NBA head coach, guided the Nets to a 46-118 record over two years, including a 20-62 finish this season that marked the franchise's first 60-loss campaign since 2016-17. The poor results stemmed from a young roster, highlighted by the team's record five first-round picks from the 2025 NBA draft, all of whom saw significant playing time. Brooklyn's general manager, Sean Marks, emphasized Fernandez's role in fostering growth. "Jordi is a tremendous leader who, along with his coaching staff, put his stamp on this franchise from the moment he arrived in Brooklyn," Marks said in a statement. "Over his first two seasons, Jordi has built a strong foundation rooted in player development, a competitive spirit and honest communication, all of which have been embraced throughout our roster."
