A press released from Brooklyn Nets’ official Twitter account confirmed the agreement to part ways with their head coach.
General Manager Sean Marks stated, we want to thank Steve for everything he brought to our franchise over the past two-plus seasons. He continued,
“Since becoming head coach, Steve was faced with a number of unprecedented challenges, and we are sincerely grateful for his leadership, patience and humility throughout his tenure. Personally, this was an immensely difficult decision; however, after much deliberation and evaluation of how the season has begun, we agreed that a change is necessary at this time. We wish Steve, Lilla and their family all the best in the future.”
The former Los Angeles Lakers’ point guard was appointed as Brooklyn Nets’ head coach in 2020, and during that season, led Nets to Eastern Conference semifinals in which they loss to Milwaukee Bucks in a seven game series.
Despite having star-stud team which features James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, Nash has failed to steer the team to an expected feat.
Steve Nash expressed his gratitude to the Brooklyn Nets fraternity through his Twitter handle:
“A very heartfelt thanks to Joe and Clara Tsai along with Sean Marks for giving me the opportunity to coach the Brooklyn Nets. It was an amazing experience with many challenges that I’m incredibly grateful for.
“It was a pleasure to work with the players, performance team and front office everyday. I’m especially grateful to my coaching staff and video room who are a talented group with so much character and professionalism.”
“Lastly, thanks to Brooklyn and the passionate fans who support this team. Family first and my family has found a home here and LOVES being a part of this beautiful community.”
“I wish the Nets all the success in the world and the Nash’s will be rooting for our team as they turn this season around.”
