The Wings fired head coach Chris Koclanes after one season as the team’s head coach.

Late on Tuesday afternoon the Wings announced that they had relieved Koclanes of his duties as their head coach. After just one season at the helm, Koclanes led the Wings to a league worst 10-34 record with a young roster and limited availability from their veterans who either were hurt or were traded mid-season. Koclanes becomes the third WNBA head coach to lose their job in the past few weeks with both the Seattle Storm and New York Liberty relieving both Noelle Quinn and Sandy Brondello of their roles respectively. Now with Koclanes out of the picture, there are five open head coaching positions going into the 2026 season. In addition to the Storm, Liberty and now Wings, the league’s two expansion teams starting play next season in the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire also continue to search for their franchise’s first head coach.
