Suns fire coach Kokoskov after one losing season
Igor Kokoskov, who was the first European-born head coach in the history of the NBA, was fired by the Phoenix Suns after just one season, the team announced in a statement on Monday.
“After extensive evaluation, I determined it is best to move in a different direction with our head coaching position,” Suns general manager James Jones said. “I want to thank Igor for his work this past season and wish him the best with his future endeavors.”
Phoenix hired Kokoskov, who was born in Serbia, in 2018 to replace Canadian Jay Triano. Kokoskov’s sacking leaves the Suns searching for their seventh head coach in eight years.
The Suns ended their season level with the Cleveland Cavaliers at 19-63, the second-worst record in the league.
