Jordi Fernández Torres (born December 27, 1982) is a Spanish professional basketball coach who is the head coach for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is also the head coach of the Canadian men's national team.

Coaching career

In his native Spain, Fernández started his coaching career at age 15, working in the youth setup of clubs like CB Sant Josep de Badalona and CB Sant Boi.[1] At Club Bàsquet l'Hospitalet he also served as athletic trainer of the LEB Plata side.[2] He spent some time abroad, coaching in Norway and the Netherlands and attended a summer camp at the University of Oklahoma.[1]

In the summer of 2006, Fernández moved to Las Vegas, where he joined the coaching staff of the Impact Basketball Academy.[2]

Cleveland Cavaliers (2009–2013)

Fernández began his National Basketball Association (NBA) coaching career in 2009 when Mike Brown, then head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, hired Fernández to be a player development coach with the team.[3] There, he tutored Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, Matthew Dellavedova and other players.[4] Mike Gansey, the Cavaliers assistant general manager, spoke highly of Fernández during his tenure with the Cavaliers: "Whoever walks through that door, [Fernández] can relate to them... he's either watched it, lived it or seen it. That's why he's so valuable."[3] Fernández also worked with LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal during his time with the Cavaliers. He was also on the coaching staff during the Cavaliers' 2016 NBA Championship.[3]

Canton Charge (2013–2016)

In 2013, Fernández took an opportunity to join the Canton Charge in the NBA Development League as the top assistant coach. One year later he became the head coach.[5]

Denver Nuggets (2016–2022)

To start the 2016–17 season, the Denver Nuggets added Fernández to their coaching staff as an assistant coach.[6]

Fernández was referenced in ESPN's annual report on potential coaching candidates to watch in April 2018.[7] Players on the Nuggets’ roster spoke highly of Fernández. Monté Morris said, "He's an all about business guy."[4]

Sacramento Kings (2022–2024)

On August 12, 2022, Fernández was hired as the associate head coach of the Sacramento Kings.[8] After being hired as associate head coach, Fernández served as the head coach of the Kings' Summer League team in 2022. He helped the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, Keegan Murray, win the 2022 Summer League MVP award.[9] On December 14, 2022, Fernández took over as acting head coach after the Kings' head coach, Mike Brown, was ejected mid-game. He assumed the same role for back-to-back games against the Denver Nuggets on December 27 and 28, with Brown entering health and safety protocols.[10] Before the game on December 27, Nuggets' head coach, Michael Malone, whom Fernández worked under in his previous coaching stop, said, "I think one day Jordi will be a head coach in this league. He's been a head coach in the G League. He's got great international experience. This team is on the right path with the right coaches, so I'm really happy for them."[11]

Brooklyn Nets (2024–present)

On April 22, 2024, Fernández was hired as the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.[12]

National team career

In 2013, Fernández served as an assistant coach for Spain's U19 men's national team.[13] From 2017 until 2019, he worked as an assistant coach on the Spanish men's national team.[14]

Fernández was an assistant coach for the Nigeria national team under Mike Brown at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[15] The two had first met when Fernández worked at the Impact Basketball Academy.[16]

On June 27, 2023, Fernández replaced Nick Nurse as the head coach of Team Canada's men's basketball team.[17]

Education

Fernandez's background in academia provides him with a unique perspective on coaching.[4] His college degree is in sports sciences, and is one completed academic article away from his PhD in sports psychology. He has extensively studied and researched the observation of human behavior. In 2009, Fernandez co-authored an academic article titled Identifying and analyzing the construction and effectiveness of offensive plays in basketball by using systematic observation.[4][3]
