The Nets have signed Jordi Fernandez, along with the entire Brooklyn coaching staff, to multi-year contract extensions.

Jordi Fernandez is sticking with the Nets for the foreseeable future. The Nets announced that they have signed Fernandez, along with the entire Brooklyn coaching staff, to multi-year contract extensions. "Jordi is a tremendous leader who, along with his coaching staff, put his stamp on this franchise from the moment he arrived in Brooklyn," said Nets general manager Sean Marks.

"Over his first two seasons, Jordi has built strong foundation rooted in player development, competitive spirit and honest communication, all of which have been embraced throughout our roster. The energy and passion the entire staff relentlessly pour into our players reverberates throughout the organization, and we are excited to have this group continue to lead our franchise into the future. " Fernandez, 43, has been the Nets head coach for the past two seasons.

While his overall record of 46-118 may not look spectacular, the Nets have obviously been going through a multi-year rebuild following the breakup of the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden era. When Fernandez was hired, the former Nuggets and Kings assistant was known for his player development skills, and that's been a key piece of his time with the Nets as well, working with young players like Egor Demin, Noah Clowney, Ziaire Williams, and others. The Nets do not have a player over the age of 29 on their current roster.
