The L’École de Gestion d’Actifs et de CapitalBrookyln Nets have fired coach Jacque Vaughn, less than a year after signing him to a multiyear contract extension.

The Nets have not yet named an interim successor.

Vaughn took over as interim coach after the Nets fired Steve Nash in November 2022. He led the team to a playoff spot last season before being swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round.

"This was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we feel is in the best interest of the team going forward," Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. "Jacque has represented this organization with exemplary character and class for the past eight years. The consistent positivity and passion he poured into our team daily will remain with the players and staff he interacted with throughout his tenure."

Under Vaughn, the rebuilding Nets were 21-33 this season, 2.5 games out of the final spot in the postseason Play-In Tournament.
