PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns are expected to hire Frank Vogel as the team's new head coach. An ESPN insider broke the news Friday morning and 12News confirmed it.
NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski released the report on Twitter Friday morning.
It's reported that the two sides are still working out details of a long-term deal. Additional information on the news hasn't been officially released.
Vogel's name has been mentioned as a potential pick for the Suns' head coaching vacancy, so it's no surprise to see him take the reigns in Phoenix.
The former Lakers coach brings a strong defensive mind to the desert and Vogel recently won an NBA title in 2020.
